This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a password has been set, a
password prompt will be displayed whenever BIOS Setup is run. This prevents an unauthorized
person from changing any part of your system configuration.
There are two types of passwords you can set: Supervisor password and User password. When a
supervisor password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed and the BIOS settings can be
changed. When a user password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed but the BIOS
settings cannot be changed.
To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length) and press <Enter>
password typed now will clear any previously set password from CMOS memory. The new
password will need to be reentered to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>
To disable the password, press <Enter>
show up to confirm disabling the password. To cancel the process press <Esc>
Additionally, when a password is enabled, the BIOS can be set to request the password each time
the system is booted. This would prevent unauthorized use of the system. See "Security Option" in
the "Advanced BIOS Features" section for more details.
