Type the password (up to eight characters in length) and press
<Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered
password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the
password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may
also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are
prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the pass-
word will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will
boot and you can enter Setup freely.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to
enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unautho-
rized person from changing any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require
the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted.
This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
