You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The difference
between them are:
Supervisor Password :
User Password :
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the
screen to assist you in creating a password.
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press<Enter>. The new password
will clear the previously entered password from the CMOS memory. You will be asked to
confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also
press <Esc> to abort the selection and operate without a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password.
A message will be displayed to confirm that the password is disabled.
Once the password is disabled, the system will reset and you can enter the Setup
Program freely.
When a password is enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter
setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any setting of your system
configuration.
In addition, when a password is enabled, you can require the BIOS to request a password
every time your system is rebooted. This would further prevent unauthorized use of
your computer.
The password requirement is defined by the Security Option of the BIOS Features Setup
Menu. If the Security Option is set to "System", the password will be required both at
resetting and at entering setup. If the option is set to "Setup", the prompt only appears
when you try to enter setup.
