Password
This option allows you to limit access to the computer through
the use of a password. If you select this option, a pop-up win-
dow will appear asking you to set or change the password. A
password can be up to seven characters in length, and is
cleared by eliminating the password with the F1 key.
Note: If you forget the password of the computer, the
only way to access the system again is to discharge the
CMOS battery. See note below.

Password on Boot
This option allows you to configure the Password to be en-
abled at the operating system level.
Password on Re-
sume
This option allows you to configure the Password to be en-
abled when resuming from the suspend mode.
The CapsLock and ScrollLock LED’s will flash in sequence for
30 seconds, indicating that the password is required to re-
sume. The LED’s will start flashing again as soon as a key is
hit until a password is entered.
NOTE: You can discharge the CMOS battery by
simply unplugging the RTC CMOS battery from
the connector CN11 of the motherboard. You
must wait for 10 minutes before plugging in the
battery again.
