Press <Enter> on this item and type the password with up to 8 characters and then press <Enter>. You will be
requested to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>.
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords:
Supervisor Password
When a system password is set and the Password Check item in Advanced BIOS Features is set to
Setup, you must enter the supervisor password for entering BIOS Setup and making BIOS changes.
When the Password Check item is set to System, you must enter the supervisor password (or user
password) at system startup and when entering BIOS Setup.
User Password
When the Password Check item is set to System, you must enter the supervisor password (or user pass-
word) at system startup to continue system boot. In BIOS Setup, you must enter the supervisor password if
you wish to make changes to BIOS settings. The user password only allows you to view the BIOS settings
but not to make changes.
To clear the password, press <Enter> on the password item and when requested for the password, press <Enter>
again. The message "PASSWORD DISABLED" will appear, indicating the password has been cancelled.
