Set Supervisor/User Password

This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a password
has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever BIOS Setup is run.
This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system
configuration.
There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor password and a user
password. When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be
accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed. When a user password is used,
the BIOS Setup program can be accessed but the BIOS settings cannot be
changed.
To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length) and
press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously set password
from CMOS memory. The new password will need to be reentered to be
confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>.
To disable the password, press <Enter> when prompted to enter a new password.
A message will show up to confirm disabling the password. To cancel the
process press <Esc>.
