No distinction is made between uppercase and lowercase.
Protecting the BIOS Setup Utility (supervisor and
user password)
If you have opened these operating instructions on the screen we recommend
that you print out the following instructions. You cannot call the instructions
onto the screen while you are setting up the password.
BIOS Setup Utility
Both the supervisor and the user password serve to prevent unauthorised use of the BIOS
Setup Utility. The supervisor password gives you access to all functions of the BIOS Setup
Utility, while the user password only provides some of the functions. You can only set a
user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.
Please refer to the
description of how to start and operate the BIOS Setup Utility.
