Passwords are enabled, only the Supervisor Password

read-only access to the BIOS Setup utility.

The Unattended Start field controls the point at which the
user password is required. When this field is set to
Disabled, the user is prompted for the password before
the system can boot. The "Enter Password" prompt is
displayed.
When this field is set to Enabled and a user password is
established, the system can complete a boot and run
without prompting the user for a password (except when
booting from a diskette). However the keyboard is
locked; the user password must be entered to unlock it.
The BIOS does not prompt for the password, but the
keyboard lamps come on.
This field is read-only if no user password has been
established.
