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-numericcharacters.
When you type the characers, they appear as asterisks (*) on the password scteen 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.

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.
3. Turn ON your computer.
