Disable
] for a stable system operation. Available
options are [

] and [

].
3-9 Load Fail-Safe Defaults
Load Fail-Safe Defaults loads the default BIOS values directly from the CMOS
Setup Utility menu (Figure3-1). If user-defined BIOS settings are corrupted and
therefore unusable, these defaults will be loaded automatically when you turn on the
computer.
3-10 Load Optimized Defaults
Load Optimized Defaults loads the default system values directly from the CMOS
Setup Utility menu (Figure3-1). If user-defined BIOS settings are corrupted and
therefore unusable, these defaults will be loaded automatically when you turn on the
computer.
3-11 Supervisor Password & User Password Setting
There are four different variables that control password settings. The first two are
located under the Security Option function in BIOS Features Setup Menu (Figure
3-1). When the Security Option function is set to
Setup
, a password is required to
enter BIOS and change BIOS settings. When the Security Option function is set to
System
, a password is required to enter both BIOS and computer's operating system
(For example, Windows 98) found on the boot drive.
The third and fourth variables are user password and supervisor password selected in
BIOS (Figure 3-1). The main purpose of separating users and supervisors is to allow
only the supervisor to have control over the BIOS settings. The user, on the other
hand, is only allowed to access computer's operating system and change the user
password in BIOS.
When there is no supervisor password being set, the user password controls
access to all BIOS settings.
