This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a
password has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever
BIOS Setup is run. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing
any part of your system configuration.
There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor password
and a user password. When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS
Setup program can be accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed.
When a user password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed
but the BIOS settings cannot be changed.
To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length)
and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously set
password from CMOS memory. The new password will need to be
reentered to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>.
To disable the password, press <Enter> when prompted to enter a new
password. A message will show up to confirm disabling the password.
To cancel the process press <Esc>.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, the BIOS can be set to
request the password each time the system is booted. This would
prevent unauthorized use of the system. See “Security Option” in the
“Advanced BIOS Features” section for more details.
