When Setup Password is set to Enabled, Password Status allows you to prevent
the system password from being changed or disabled at system start-up.
To lock the system password, you must first assign a password in Setup Password
and then change Password Status to Locked. In this state, the system password
cannot be changed through System Password and cannot be disabled at system
start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter>.
To unlock the system password, you must enter the setup password in Setup Pass-
word and then change Password Status to Unlocked. In this state, the system
password can be disabled at system start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter> and then
changed through System Password.
Setup Password lets you restrict access to your computer's System Setup program
in the same way that you restrict access to your system with the system password
feature. The settings are:
Not Enabled (the default)
Enabled
Disabled by Jumper (jumper removed)
NOTE: Read "Using the Setup Password Feature" found later in this chapter for
instructions on assigning a setup password and using or changing an existing setup
password. See "Disabling a Forgotten Password" found later in this chapter for
instructions on disabling a forgotten setup password.
Mouse enables or disables the system's built-in Personal System/2 (PS/2)-compatible
mouse port. Disabling the mouse allows an expansion card to use IRQ12.
Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2 configure the system's built-in serial ports. These
options can be set to Auto (the default) to automatically configure a port, to a particu-
lar designation (COM1 or COM3 for Serial Port 1; COM2 or COM4 for Serial Port 2),
or to Off to disable the port.
If you set a serial port to Auto and add an expansion card containing a port configured
to the same designation, the system automatically remaps the built-in port to the next
available port designation that shares the same interrupt request (IRQ) setting as
follows:
COM1 (input/output [I/O] address 3F8h), which shares IRQ4 with COM3, is
remapped to COM3 (I/O address 3E8h).
Likewise, COM2 (I/O address 2F8h), which shares IRQ3 with COM4, is
remapped to COM4 (I/O address 2E8h).
