3.13 Supervisor Password
This option allows you to set a password to prevent others from changing the BIOS setting of your
system.
The password prevents any unauthorized use of your computer. If you set a password, the system
prompts for the correct password before you boot or access “Setup”.
To set a password:
1. At the prompt, type your password. Your password can be up to 8 alpha-numeric characters.
When you type the characters, they appear as asterisks (*) on the password screen box.
2. After typing the password, press [Enter] key.
3. At the next prompt, re-type your password and press [Enter] key again to confirm the new
password. After the password entry, the screen automatically reverts to the main screen.
To disable the password, press [Enter] key when prompted to enter the password. The screen
displays a message confirming that the password has been disabled.
Forget the password?
If you forget the password, you can clear it by erasing the CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM
with the jumper 5 (JP5: CMOS_CLR. Please refer to page 21). To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Unplug your computer.
2. Short the JP5 for about 10 second, and restore the JP5 setting.
3. Turn On your computer.
4. Hold down [Delete] key during the POST process and enter BIOS setup to re-config BIOS.
