Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The
differences between them are:
Supervisor Password and User Password
The options on the Password screen menu make it possible to re-
strict access to the Setup program by enabling you to set passwords
for two different access modes: Supervisor mode and User mode.
In general, Supervisor mode has full access to the Setup options,
whereas User mode has restricted access to the options. By setting
separate Supervisor and User password, a system supervisor can
limit who can change critical Setup values.
Enter Password
Type the password up to eight characters, 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 password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter password. A message will confirm the password being dis-
abled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you
can enter Setup freely.
