Set Supervisor/User Password - MSI G52-M6734XD Owner's Manual

MS-6734 M-ATX Mainboard

Set Supervisor/User Password

When you select this function, a message as below will appear on the screen:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The pass-
word typed now will replace any previously set password from CMOS memory. You
will be prompted to confirm the password. Retype the password and press <Enter>.
You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will show up confirming the password will be disabled. Once
the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup without
entering any password.
When a password has been set, 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 have BIOS to request a
password each time the system is booted. This would prevent unauthorized use of
your computer. The setting to determine when the password prompt is required is the
Security Option of the Advanced BIOS Feature menu. If the Security Option is set to
System, the password is required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to Setup,
password prompt only occurs when you try to enter Setup.
