Set Supervisor/User Password
When this function is selected, the following message appears at the center of the
screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. The password typed
now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked
to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also
press <Esc> to abort the selection. To disable password, just press <Enter> when you
are prompted to enter password. A message will confirm the password being disabled.
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter BIOS Setup
freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
