Set Supervisor/User Password
You can set a supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences between them are:
1.
Supervisor password: You can enter and change the options on the setup menu.
2.
User password: You can just enter but have no right to change the options on the setup menu.
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 a maximum eight-character password, and press <Enter>. This typed password will clear previously entered
password from the CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm this password. Type this password again and
press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort this selection and not enter a password.
To disable the password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter a password. A message will confirm
the password is getting disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot, and you can enter Setup
freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you enter the Setup. It prevents any unauthorized
persons from changing your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time the
system reboots. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You decide when the password is required for the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security
option is set to “System,”
the password is required during booting up and entry into the Setup; if it is set as “Setup,”
a prompt will only appear before entering the Setup.
