The supervisor and user HDD passwords both prevent unauthorised use of the BIOS Setup Utility.
With the aid of the supervisor HDD password you can access all of the functions of the BIOS Setup
Utility, while the user HDD password will only give you access to some of the functions. You can
only set a user HDD password if a supervisor HDD password has already been set.
