Supervisor/User Password
These two options allows you to set your system passwords.
Normally, supervisor has a higher right to change the
CMOS setup option than the user. The way to set up the
passwords for both Supervisor and User are as follow:
1. Choose ÒChange PasswordÓ in the Main Menu and press
<Enter>. The following message appears:
ÒEnter Password:Ó
2. The first time you run this option, enter your password
up to only 8 characters and press <Enter>. The screen
does not display the entered characters.
3. After you enter the password, the following message
appears prompting you to confirm the password:
ÒConfirm Password:Ó
4. Enter exact the same password you just typed again to
confirm the password and press <Enter>.
5. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the
password.
6. If you need to delete the password you entered before,
choose the Supervisor Password and press <Enter>. It
will delete the password that you had before.
7. Move the cursor to Save & Exit Setup to save the option
you did, otherwise the old password will still be there
when you turn on your machine next time.
8. Press <ESC> to exit to the Main Menu.
Note:
If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access
the system is to clear the CMOS RAM by setting JP18.
All setup information will be lost and you need to run the
BIOS setup program again.
