BIOS Setup
4-27
When you select this function, a message as below will appear on the
screen:
Type the password, up to six characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will replace any previously set password from CMOS
memory. You will be prompted to confirm the password. Retype the password
and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not
enter a password.
To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter the password. A message will show up confirming the password will be
disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can
enter Setup without entering any password.
When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it every
time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from chang-
ing any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have AMIBIOS
to request a password each time the system is booted. This would prevent
unauthorized use of your computer. The setting to determine when the pass-
word prompt is required is the PASSWORD CHECK option of the ADVANCED
BIOS FEATURES menu. If the PASSWORD CHECK option is set to
Always
,
the password is required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to
Setup
,
password prompt only occurs when you try to enter Setup.
