PASSWORD DISABLED
When a password has been enabled, user will be prompted to enter it every time user
tries to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of
your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a
password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use
of the computer.
User may determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup
Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to “System”,
the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”,
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

saving the values the system is restarted again.

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

This allows user to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any change. The previous
selections remain in effect. This exits the Setup utility and restarts your computer.
