A Note about Passwords
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu. The
passwords control access to the BIOS during system startup. The passwords are not
case sensitive. In other words, it makes no difference whether you enter a password
using upper or lowercase letters. The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two
separate passwords: a Supervisor password and a User password. When disabled, any-
one may access all BIOS Setup program functions. When enabled, the Supervisor
password is required for entering the BIOS Setup program and having full access to all
configuration fields.
Forgot the Password?
If you forgot the password, you can clear the password by erasing the CMOS Real
Time Clock (RTC) RAM. The RAM data containing the password information is
powered by the onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC RAM: (1) Unplug
your compute; (2) Place a jumper cap on the two pins CLCMOS, (above RN40);
(3)Uncap the jumper; (4) Turn ON your computer; (5) Hold down <Delete> during
bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
