User password.
The function of the supervisor password depends on the setting for the Security Option
item on the Advanced BIOS Features page. If set to System, the supervisor password must
be given every time the system boots, if set to setup, the password must be given only
when you want to enter the BIOS Setup.
The user password has the same functionality, with the only difference that anybody
logging in with the user password may only change the user password when entering the
BIOS Setup page. All other items in the BIOS Setup will be disabled (unchangeable).
When both passwords are disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup program functions.
Setting the password
To set the Supervisor password, select the Set Supervisor Password item in the main BIOS
Setup Menu. Now a dialog will pop up asking you to enter a password.
