AMIBIOS Password Support
AMIBIOS 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 Setup is executed.
Setting a Password
The password check option is enabled in ADVANCED CMOS SETUP (see page 97) by choosing
either Always (the password prompt appears every time the system is powered on) or Setup (the
password prompt appears only when AMIBIOS Setup 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.
