If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access
the system is to clear the CMOS RAM. All setup informa-
tions will be lost and you need to run the BIOS setup pro-
gram again.
You determine when the password is required within the
Advanced BIOS Features and its Security option.If the
Security option is set to "system", the password will be
required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to "setup",
prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
