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.
There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor password and a
user password. When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS Setup program
can be accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed. When a user
password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed but the BIOS
settings cannot be changed.
To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length) and
press <Enter> <Enter> <Enter> <Enter> . The password typed now will clear any previously set
password from CMOS memory. The new password will need to be reentered
to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>
<Esc> <Esc>
<Esc> .
To disable the password, press <Enter> <Enter> <Enter> <Enter> when prompted to enter a new
password. A message will show up to confirm disabling the password. To
cancel the process press <Esc>
<Esc> <Esc>
<Esc> .
