3.15 Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either a supervisor or a user password, or both of them . The
differences are:
Set Supervisor Password: can enter and change the options of the setup
menus.
Set User Password:
Can enter but does not have permission to change any
options.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center
of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
Enter Password
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, 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 a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time
you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing
any part of your system configuration.
