Section 3.9 BIOS Security Features will change in its entirety as follows:

3.9 BIOS Security Features

The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup
program and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user
password can be set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the
computer, with the following restrictions:
• The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all
the Setup options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor
mode.
• The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup
options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.
• If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either
the supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Users
have access to Setup respective to which password is entered.
• Both the supervisor and user passwords can be set to boot the system or
enter the BIOS setup menu.
• For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and
user passwords.
• Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, "+", "~", "=" and ".".
Passwords may be up to 8 characters in length.
Table 40 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user
password. This table is for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.
