options in the Standard CMOS Setup are not affected.
3.12 Load Optimized Defaults

3.13 Supervisor Password and User Password
Setting
Passwords can be set to provide protection for the BIOS configuration options, or to restrict
access to the computer itself. When enabled, User Password will require all users to enter a
password in order to use the system, and/or enter the BIOS setup (but can't change its
contents). A Supervisor Password is used to protect the stored CMOS options from being
changed by unauthorized users.
Keep in mind that when set, a password is required only when booting the system. It will not
provide protection to a system that is already booted. The password check option is set in
Advanced BIOS Features by choosing either System (the password prompt appears every
time the system is powered on) or Setup (the password prompt appears only when the user
enters the BIOS Setup). The password is stored in CMOS RAM, and can be cleared by the
Clear CMOS jumper. (Refer to page 14.)
