This Main Menu item lets you configure the system so that a pass-
word is required each time the system boots or an attempt is made to enter
the Setup program. Supervisor Password allows you to change all CMOS

to set up the passwords for both Supervisor and User are as follow:

<Enter>. The following message appears:
2. The first time you run this option, enter your password up to 6 characters
only and press <Enter>. The screen will not display the entered charac-
ters. For no password, just press <Enter>.
3. After you enter the password, the following message appears prompting
you to confirm the password:
4. Enter exactly the same password you just typed in to confirm the pass-
word and press <Enter>.
5. Move the cursor to Save and Exit Setup to save the password.
6. If you need to delete the password you entered before, choose the
Supervisor/User Password and press <Enter>. It will delete the password
that you had before.
7. Move the cursor to Save and Exit Setup to save the option you did.
Otherwise, the old password will still be there when you turn on your
machine next time.
