3.1.10 User Password
If you want another user to have access only to your system but not
to setup, set a users password with the System option selected in
the BIOS Features Setup. If you want a user to enter a password when
trying to access setup, set a users password with the Setup option
selected in the BIOS Features Setup. Using users password to enter
Setup allows a user to access only the User Password option that
appears on the main screen. Access to all other options is denied. To
set, confirm, verify, disable or delete a users password, follow the
procedures described in the section Supervisor Password. If you
forget your password, refer to the procedure described in the same
section.
3.1.11 IDE HDD Auto Detection
Use this option to detect the parameters for the hard disk drives
installed in your system. These parameters will then be automatically
entered into the "Standard CMOS Setup". The IDE HDD Auto
Detection screen displays the following categories of information: Size,
Cylinders, Heads, Precomp, LandZone, Sectors and Mode.
For hard drives larger than 528MB, you would typically select the LBA
type. Certain operating systems require that you select Normal or
Large. Please check your operating systems manual or Help desk on
which one to select.
