Supervisor/User Password Setting - TYAN TRINITY KT400 Manual

Trinity KT400 S2495 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
3.12 – Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences between are:
Set Supervisor Password: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
Set User Password: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the
setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center
of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, 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 and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A
message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the
system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to
enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system
configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a
password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your
computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its
Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to "System", the password will be
required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to "Setup", prompting only occurs when
trying to enter Setup.
