Change Supervisor/User Password; Auto Configuration With Optional Settings - PCchips M848ALU Manual

Change 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 may also 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" 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 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.
Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings
If you select this item and press Enter a dialog box appears. If you
press Y, and then Enter, the Setup Utility loads a set of fail-safe
default values. These default values are not very demanding and
they should allow your system to function with most kinds of
hardware and memory chips.
Note: It is highly recommended that users enter this option to
load optimal values for accessing the best performance.
