Load Setup Defaults
Select the Load Setup Defaults option from the CMOS Setup Utility
menu to configure the BIOS to load the system defaults directly from
CMOS. If the configured setup record created by the Setup program
becomes corrupted (and therefore unusable), the system defaults will be
loaded automatically when you turn the computer on.
When you select the option, you will be prompted to “Load Setup
Defaults”. Respond with Y or N as appropriate.
Password Setting
Select the Password Setting from the CMOS Setup Utility menu when
you want to initially set the password, and when you want to change or
delete an existing password. When you use this option to initially set a
password, you will be prompted to “Enter Password”. Press Enter (this
is the ROM default password) and continue to set up the initial
password. At other times, the prompt will require the valid password to
be entered.
After the ROM password (Enter) or valid password has been entered, you
can either accept the existing password, set up a new one, or delete the
password entirely. The password can be three to eight digits in length.
Remember that you may need to set the “Security Option” in the BIOS
Features menu to either “System” or “Setup” so that the password will
be required to run the system, or to access the BIOS setup only.
