Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences between are:
supervisor password : can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
user password : just can enter but do not have the right to change the
options of the setup menus.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to
assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now
will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm
the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort
the selection and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A
message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system
will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter
Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system
configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password
every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its
Security option (see Section 4). If the Security option is set to
ystem the password will be
required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to etup prompting only occurs when trying
to enter Setup.
