When you select this function, the following message will appear at
the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.

The password typed will now clear any previously entered password
from 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 not enter a password.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter password. A message will confirm the password being disabled.
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can
enter Setup freely.
When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you enter
Setup. This prevents any unauthorized person from changing your
system configuration.
Additionally when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time the system reboots. This
would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS
Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is
set to "System", the password is required during boot up and entry
into Setup. If set as "Setup", prompting will only occur prior to entering
Setup.
