Protecting BIOS Setup Utility (supervisor and user password)
If you have opened these operating instructions on the screen, we
recommend that you print them out. You cannot call the instructions onto
the screen while you are setting up the password.
BIOS SetupUtility
The supervisor password and the user password both prevent unauthorised use of the BIOS Setup
Utility. With the aid of the supervisor password you can access all of the functions of the BIOS
Setup Utility, while the user password will only give you access to some of the functions. You
can only set up a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.
