4-6.11 Set Supervisor / User Password
• These two options allow you to set your system passwords. Normally, the
supervisor has a higher priority to change the CMOS setup option than the
users. The way to set up the passwords for both Supervisor and Users
are as follows:
1. Choose “Change Password” in the Main Menu and press <Enter>. Then
following message appears:
“Enter Password : “
2. The first time you run this option, enter your password up to 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:
“Confirm Password : “
4. Enter the same password “exactly” the same as you have just typed 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 entered before, choose the Supervisor
Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password that you have
entered before.
• When you press <Enter> on this item, you will get a confirmation dialog
box with a message similar to:
“ Load Optimized Defaults (Y / N) ? N ”
Pressing “Y” loads the BIOS default values that are factor settings for
optimal performance of system operations.
