The “SUPERVISOR PASSWORD” is for you to control unauthorized access to your
BIOS CMOS Setup or Booting into the your PC system. The Supervisor Password
option is used together with the Security Option in section 3.5.
3.12. Load Optimized Defaults
There is CMOS memory on the mainboard that can be used to store the system
settings. If you don't know how to use the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility to
select the settings, you may use this field to load the optimized defaults which
are defined in the system BIOS. Our engineer recommends the Optimized
Defaults. If this option is selected it will give a series of parameters that will
ensure the reliability and performance of your PC.
If you lose your CMOS data or you don’t know how to complete the setup proce-
dure, you may use this option to load the Optimized default values from the
BIOS default table.
If the CMOS data is corrupted, or if you selected some CMOS settings and find
that the PC system becomes very unstable, you should try to load the optimized
default values first and then re-configure the BIOS.
