6.8.2. Password Check
This feature is compulsory when the Change Supervisor Password Change Supervisor Password Change Supervisor Password Change Supervisor Password option is set.
The user will have up to three chances to enter the correct password before
the BIOS forces the system to stop booting. If the user does not enter the
correct password, the keyboard will also lock up. The only way to get past
this is to do a hard reboot (i.e., use the system reset button or cut off the
power to the system). A soft reboot (i.e., Ctrl+Alt+Del) will not work
because the keyboard will be locked. This feature has two options.
