3.1.11 Set Password
If you want to protect your system and setup from unauthorized
entry, set a password with the “System” option selected in the
Advanced BIOS Features. If you want to protect access to setup
only, but not your system, set a password with the “Setup” option
selected in the Advanced BIOS Features. You will not be
prompted for a password when you cold boot the system.
Use the arrow keys to highlight “Set Password” and press <En-
ter>.
Type in the password. You are limited to eight characters. When
done, the message below will appear:
Confirm Password:
You are asked to verify the password. Type in exactly the same
password. If you type in a wrong password, you will be prompted
to enter the correct password again. To delete or disable the
password function, highlight “Set Supervisor Password” and press
<Enter>, instead of typing in a new password. Press the <Esc>
key to return to the main menu.
