Changing A Password - American Megatrends Atlas PCI EISA User Manual

Changing a Password

Select the Password icon from the Security section of the WinBIOS Setup main menu. Enter the password
and press <Enter>. The screen does not display the characters entered. After the new password is entered,
retype the new password as prompted and press <Enter>.
If the password confirmation is incorrect, an error message appears. If the new password is entered without
error, press <Esc> to return to the WinBIOS Main Menu. The password is stored in CMOS RAM after
WinBIOS completes. The next time the system boots, you are prompted for the password if the password
function is present and is enabled.
Remember the Password
Keep a record of the new password when the password is changed. If you forget the password, remove the
computer cover, set switch 1-2 (the DIAG switch) to ON, power on the computer. WinBIOS will erase the
password.
