Supervisor Password And User Password - Asus P I-P55TP4N User Manual

IV. BIOS SOFTWARE

Supervisor Password and User Password

These two options set the system passwords. "Supervisor Password" sets a
password that will be used to protect the system and the Setup utility; "User
Password" sets a password that will be used exclusively on the system. By
default, the system comes without any passwords. To specify a password,
highlight the type you want and then press the <Enter> key. A password
prompt appears on the screen. Taking note that the password is case sensi-
tive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters long, type in your pass-
word and then press the <Enter> key. The system confirms your password
by asking you to type it again. After setting a password, the screen auto-
matically reverts to the main screen.
To implement the password protection, specify in the "Security Option"
field of the BIOS Features Setup screen when the system will prompt for
the password. If you want to disable either password, press the <Enter> key
instead of entering a new password when the "Enter Password" prompt ap-
pears. A message confirms the password has been disabled.
NOTE: If you forget the password, see page 11 for procedures on clearing
the CMOS.
