Section 6 Other Setup Options
Auto-Detect Hard Disks
Choose this option to let AMIBIOS automatically detect the hard disk drive
parameters. The Standard CMOS Setup screen will appear after AMIBIOS has
configured the drives. Press <Esc> and choose Save Settings and Exit to
reconfigure the system configuration with the new hard disk drive parameters.
AMIBIOS Password Support
Two Levels of Password Protection AMIBIOS provides both a Supervisor and a User
password. If you use both passwords, the Supervisor password must be set
first.
The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every
time the system boots or when AMIBIOS Setup is executed, using either or
both the Supervisor password or User password. The Supervisor and User
passwords activate two different levels of password security.
Set the Password Check option in Advanced Setup (see the Advanced Setup
section ) 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 executed). The password is encrypted and stored in
NVRAM.
If you select password support, you are prompted for a 1 – 6 character
password. Type the password on the keyboard. The password does not appear
on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you
must drain NVRAM and reconfigure.
Remember the Password Keep a record of the new password when the password is changed. If
you forget the password, you must erase the system configuration information
in NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory). See page 68 for
information about erasing system configuration information.
