AMIBIOS 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 68) 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.
