Set Supervisor/User Password
The Supervisor/User Password utility sets the password. The main-
board is shipped with the password disabled. If you want to change
the password, you must first enter the current password, then at the
prompt enter your new password. The password is case sensitive.
You can use up to eight alphanumeric characters. Press <Enter> after
entering the password. At the next prompt, confirm the new pass-
word by retyping it and pressing <Enter> again.
To disable the password, press <Enter> instead of entering a new
password when the Enter Password dialog box appears. A message
appears confirming that the password has been disabled.
If you have set supervisor and user passwords, only the supervisor
password allows you to enter the BIOS Setup Program.
Note: If you forget your password, the only way to solve this
problem is to discharge the CMOS memory by turning power
off and placing a shunt on jumper JP12 to short pin 2 and pin
3 for five seconds, then putting the shunt back to pin 1 and pin
2 of JP12.

Save & Exit Setup
Selecting this option and pressing <Enter> will save the new setting
information in the CMOS memory and continue with the booting
process.
5.14.
Exit Without Saving
Selecting this option and pressing <Enter> will exit the Setup Utility
without recording any new values or changing old ones.
This concludes Chapter 5. Chapter 6 describes drivers and utilities bun-
dled with the mainboard.
