BIOS SETUP
The password prevents any unauthorized use of your computer. If you set a password, the
system prompts for the correct password before you boot or access “Setup”.
To set a password:
1. At the prompt, type your password. Your password can be up to 8 alpha-numeric
characters. When you type the characters, they appear as asterisks (*) on the password
screen box.
2. After typing the password, press [Enter] key.
3. At the next prompt, re-type your password and press [Enter] key again to confirm the
new password. After the password entry, the screen automatically reverts to the main
screen. To disable the password, press [Enter] key when prompted to enter the password.
The screen displays a message confirming that the password has been disabled.
Forget the password?

with jumper JP3. To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Unplug your computer.
2. Set the JP3 to “Clear CMOS” for about 10 seconds, and then return to “NORMAL”.
3. Turn on your computer.
4. Hold down [Delete] key during POST. Enter BIOS setup to re-configure BIOS settings.
