2-2 Security Setup
2-2-1 Supervisor
User
The system can be configured so that all users must enter a pass-
word every time the system boots or when the WINBIOS setup is
executed. You can set either a Supervisor password or a User
password. If you do not want to use a password, just press <En-
ter> when the password prompt appears.
The password check option is enabled in the Advanced Setup by
choosing either Always or Setup. The password is stored in CMOS
RAM. You can enter a password by typing the password on the
keyboard, selecting each letter via the mouse, or selecting each
letter via the pen stylus. Pen access must be customized for each
specific hardware platform.
When you select Supervisor or User, AMIBIOS prompts for a pass-
word. You must set the Supervisor password before you can set
the User password. Enter a 1-6 character password. The pass-
word does not appear on the screen when typed. Retype the new
password as prompted and press <Enter>. Make sure you write it
down. If you forget it, you must drain CMOS RAM and reconfigure
the system.
2-2-2 Anti-Virus
When this icon is selected, AMIBIOS issues a warning when any
program (or virus) issues a disk format command or attempts to
write to the boot sector of the hard disk drive. The settings are
Enabled or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings
are Disabled.
