Table 39. Supervisor And User Password Functions - Intel S875WP1LX Specification

BIOS Features
•
If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password prompt
of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
•
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.
•
Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt
will be displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set,
the computer boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, the user
can enter either password to boot the computer.
Table 39 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password. This table is
for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.
