3.10 Password Setting

Password prevents unauthorized use of your computer. If you set a password,

the system prompts for the correct password before boot or access to Setup.

To set a password:

At the prompt, type your password. Your password can be up to 8

alphanumeric characters. When you type the characters, they appear as

asterisks on the password screen box.

After typing the password, press.

At the next prompt, re-type your password and press again to confirm the

new password. After the password entry, the screen automatically reverts

to the main screen.

To disable the password, press when prompted to enter the password. The

screen displays a message confirming that the password has been disabled.

If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this function to detect its

parameters and enter them into the "Standard CMOS Setup" automatically.

This routine only detects one set of parameters for your IDE hard drive. Some

IDE drives can use more than one set of parameters. If your hard disk is

formatted using different parameters than those detected, you have to enter

the parameters manually. If the parameters listed do not match the ones used

to format the disk, the information on that disk will not be accessible. If the

auto-detected parameters displayed do not match those that used for your

drive, ignore them. Type

manually from the Standard CMOS Setup screen.

3.12 Save & Exit Setup

This function automatically saves all CMOS values before leaving Setup.
