3.11 Load Optimized Defaults
This option loads optimized settings stored in the BIOS ROM. The auto-configured
settings do not affect the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
To use this feature, highlight it on the main screen and press <Enter>. A line will
appear on the screen asking if you want to load the Optimized Default Values. Press
the <Y> key and then press <Enter> if you want to load the SETUP default.
3.12 Supervisor/User Password
The password options let you prevent unauthorized system boot-up or unauthorized use
of CMOS setup. The Supervisor Password allows both system and CMOS Setup
program access; the User Password allows access to the system and the CMOS Setup
Utility main menu.
The password functions are disabled by default. You can use these options to enable a
password function or, if a password function is already enabled, change the password.
To change a password, first choose a password option from the main menu and enter
the current password. Then type your new password at the prompt. The password is
case sensitive and you can use up to 8 alphanumeric characters. Press <Enter> after
entering the password. At the Next Prompt, confirm the new password by typing it and
pressing <Enter> again.
