Bypassing the Setup Password

If you forget your setup password, you can bypass the password
security feature by hardware. Follow these steps to bypass the
password:

Turn off and unplug the system.

Open the system housing and set JP3 to pins 2-3 to bypass the
password checking.

Turn on the system and enter the BIOS utility. This time the
system does not require you to type in a password.

You can either change the existing Setup
password or remove it by selecting

None

Refer to the previous section for the
procedure.

3.6.5

Power On Password

The power on password secures your system against unauthorized
use. Once you set this password, you have to type it whenever you
boot the system.

To set a power on password, highlight the Power On Password
parameter and follow the same procedure as in setting a setup
password. See section 3.6.4.
