Load Optimized Defaults; Bios Setting Password - MSI MS-7222 User Manual

MS-7222 Micro-ATX Mainboard
The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS settings to
the Optimized values. The Optimized Defaults are the default values set by the
mainboard manufacturer specifically for optimal performance of the mainboard.
When you select Load Optimized Defaults, a message as below appears:
Pressing Y loads the default factory settings for optimal system performance.
When you select this function, a message as below will appear on the screen:
Type the password, up to six characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password
typed now will replace any previously set password from CMOS memory. You will
be prompted to confirm the password. Retype the password and press <Enter>. You
may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will show up confirming the password will be disabled. Once
the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup without
entering any password.
When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try
to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your
system configuration.
