NOTE: The hardware monitoring features for temperatures, fans and voltages will occupy the

using these addresses.

Password can be set to provide protection for the BIOS configuration options, or to restrict

When enabled, User Password will request 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 appears every time the system is powered on) or Setup (the password prompt

appears only when the users enter the BIOS Setup). The password is stored in CMOS RAM,

and can be cleared by the Clear CMOS jumper.

To Set a Password:

You must first set the Supervisor Password by choosing (Supervisor) Password and pressing

<Enter>. Setup prompts for a password.

Enter a 1-8 character password using letters, numbers, or a combination of both. The specific

characters are not shown as you enter them. Press <Enter>.

A confirmation box appears asking you to re-enter the password. Enter the password again.

Press <Enter>. Follow the same procedure to set the Use Password.
