Load Default Settings

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for all appropriate items in the
Setup Utility. Press <OK> and then <Enter> to install the defaults. Press <Cancel> and then
<Enter> to not install the defaults. If you only want to install setup defaults for a specific option,
select and display that option, and then press <F9>.

Set Supervisor/User Password

When this function is selected, the following message appears at the center of the screen to assist
you in creating a password.
Enter 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 can press <Esc> to abort the selection.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A message will
confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you
can enter BIOS Setup freely.
Password Disabled
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" of "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 Password
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.
