Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and enter Setup
freely.
When a password is enabled, it has to be typed to enter the Setup
every time. This prevents any unauthorized person from changing the
system configuration.
Additionally when a password is enabled, the BIOS can also set to
request a password every time the system reboots. This would
prevent unauthorized use of the computer.
The user can determine when the password is required within the
BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security
option is set to "System", the password is required during boot up and
entry into Setup. If it set as "Setup", prompting will only occur prior to
entering Setup.
