System BIOS and Utilities 4-19
A Supervisor Password controls access to the BIOS and
Setup Utility program. If the Supervisor Password feature
has been enabled, a Supervisor password must be entered
correctly before all options in the Setup Utility program are
available (for example, to disable password protection).
!
WARNING
When a Supervisor Password is enabled, access to
many features in the Setup Utility program is
restricted.
