that you print them out. You cannot call up the instructions on the screen
while you are setting up the password.

Setup Utility. The supervisor password allows you to access all of the functions of the BIOS Setup
Utility, while the user password will only give you access to some of the functions. You can
only set up a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.
