3-11 Supervisor Password & User Password Setting
There are four different variables that control password settings. The first two are
located under the Security Option function in BIOS Features Setup Menu (Figure
3-1). When the Security Option function is set to Setup, a password is required to
enter BIOS and change BIOS settings. When the Security Option function is set
to System, a password is required to enter both BIOS and the computer's operating
system (for example Windows 98) found on the boot drive.
The third and fourth variables are user password and supervisor password selected
in BIOS (Figure 3-1). The main purpose of separating user and supervisor is to allow
only the supervisor to have control over the settings in BIOS. The user, on the other
hand, is only allowed to access the computer's operating system and change the user
password in BIOS. Note that when there is no supervisor password set, the user
password controls access to all BIOS settings.

3-12 Save and Exit Setup

If you select this and type Y (for yes) followed by the [Enter] key, the values entered
in the setup utilities will be recorded in the CMOS memory of the BIOS chip.

3-13 Exit Without Saving

Selecting this option and pressing Y followed by the [Enter] key lets you exit the
Setup program without recording any new values or changing old ones.
