BIOS Configuration
Once you have entered your new password, you will be asked to
confirm it. If the two passwords do not match, you will be prompted to
enter a new password, and then to confirm it. This will continue until
you enter the same series of characters both times. Once this is
accomplished, a dialog box will appear and notify you that the Supervi-
sor Password has been installed. You may then select the User Secu-
rity option and enter a password for the user.
You can enter a new User password at any time simply by selecting
the User Security option, and typing in a new password. To enter a
new Supervisor password, select the Supervisor Security option. You
will be asked to enter the current password. After you do so, you will
be prompted to enter the new password.
In either the Supervisor or User Security options, pressing <Enter>
once when asked for a new password, and a second time when asked
to confirm the new password, will uninstall the existing password. Note
that uninstalling the Supervisor password uninstalls the User password
as well.
Anti-Virus Security
If Enabled, the virus protection program helps you monitor your system
for viruses. During and after the system boot up, any attempt to write
to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive will halt
the system and produce an error message. If a warning appears, you
should run an anti-virus program to locate the problem. This feature
protects only the boot sector, not the entire drive. Note that some disk
diagnostic programs will trigger a virus warning message.
