Change Supervisor Password

This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a

password has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever BIOS

Setup is run. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part

of your system configuration.

When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be

accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed.

Change User Password

When a user password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed but

the BIOS settings cannot be changed.
