the new password. This can be up to eight characters long.
To change an existing supervisor password, press Enter. The Set
Supervisor Password dialog is displayed. Type the current
password followed by the new password. If you want to remove
the supervisor password completely, type the current password
and then press Enter in both New Password fields (i.e. leave
them blank).

supervisor password has been cleared or has not yet
been set.

You must have set up a supervisor password for this to take
effect.
If you leave this option Disabled and have set up a
supervisor password, access to system setup when the
computer is turned on is provided at the user rather than
at the supervisor level.
Choose whether to write protect the boot sector on the hard disk
for protection against viruses. This means that a password must
