The supervisor password has been set.
The supervisor password is required to turn the computer on
or to enter the BIOS Setup.
For some models, if the password entered message appears
in the
Setup Notice
window, the settings are not complete
until the <
Enter

key is pressed.
Setting a User Password
Using the User Password, you can turn the computer on but you
cannot change the major settings of the BIOS Setup because you
cannot enter the BIOS Setup.
This helps prevent unauthorized access to the major settings in
the BIOS Setup menu.
Before configuring a user password, a
supervisor password
must
have been configured. Deactivating the supervisor password also
deactivates the user password.
