Supervisor/User Password Setting; Exiting Selection - WinSystems PPC65-1210S Product Manual

4.12 Supervisor/User Password Setting

Either supervisor or user password can be setup, or both of them. The differences between are:
Set Supervisor Password: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
Set User Password: can only enter but does not have the right to change the options of the Setup menus. When
selecting this function, the following message appears at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press ENTER. The password typed now clears any previously
entered passwords 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 prompted to enter the password. A message confirms the password will
be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will reboot and Setup can be entered freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
When a password has been enabled, the user is prompted to enter it every time the user tries to enter Setup. This
prevents an unauthorized 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 the computer.
Users may determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see
Chapter ). If the Security option is set to System, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set
to Setup, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

4.13 Exiting Selection

Save & Exit Setup
Pressing ENTER on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing Y stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS – a special section of memory that stays on after the
system is off. During subsequent booting of computer, the BIOS configures the system according to the Setup selections
stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again.
Exit Without Saving
Pressing ENTER on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N
This allows the user to exit Setup without storing changes in CMOS. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits
the Setup utility and restarts the computer.
