Setting A Password - American Megatrends Atlas PCI EISA User Manual

Section 3
WinBIOS Password Support
WinBIOS Setup has an optional password feature. The system can be configured so that all users must enter
a password every time the system boots or when WinBIOS Setup is executed.

Setting a Password

The password check option is enabled in Advanced Setup (see page 21) by choosing either Always (the
password prompt appears every time the system is powered on) or Setup (the password prompt appears only
when WinBIOS is run). The password is stored in CMOS RAM.
The system asks for a password.
Enter a 1 – 6 character password. The password does not appear on the screen when typed. Make sure you
write it down. If you forget it, you must drain CMOS RAM and reconfigure the system.
If You Do Not Want to Use a Password
Just press <Enter> when the password prompt appears.
