BIOS Description

Password Setting

When this function is selected, the following message appears at the center of the screen to

assist you in creating a password.

Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will

clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the

password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort

the selection.

To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A mes-

sage will confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will

boot and you can enter BIOS Setup freely.

If you have selected "System" in "Security Option" of "BIOS Features Setup" menu, you will be

prompted for the password every time the system reboots or any time you try to enter BIOS

Setup.

If you have selected "Setup" at "Security Option" from "BIOS Features Setup" menu, you will be

prompted for the password only when you enter BIOS Setup.

Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. You can use Supervisor Pass-

word when booting the system or entering BIOS Setup to modify all settings. Also you can

use User Password when booting the system or entering BIOS Setup but can not modify any

setting if Supervisor Password is enabled.

If you have made all the changes to CMOS values and the system can not boot with the

CMOS values selected in setup, clear CMOS after power-down, then power on again.

System will boot with BIOS default settings.
