The BIOS Setup program permits two different passwords to control access to the
BIOS during system startup: a Supervisor password and a User password.
Passwords are not case sensitive, meaning, passwords can be typed in either
uppercase or lowercase letters. The table below describes the authority level when
setting Supervisor or User Password.
