Load Fail-Safe Defaults

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install fail-safe defaults for all
appropriate items in the Setup Utility:
Press <Y> and then <Enter> to install the defaults. Press <N> and then
<Enter> to not install the defaults. The fail-safe defaults place no great
demands on the system and are generally stable. If your system is not func-
tioning correctly, try installing the fail-safe defaults as a first step in getting
your system working properly again. If you only want to install fail-safe
defaults for a specific option, select and display that option, and then press
<F6>.

Load Optimized Defaults

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for
all appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y> and then <Enter> to
install the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter> to not install the defaults.
The optimized defaults place demands on the system that may be greater
than the performance level of the components, such as the CPU and the
memory. You can cause fatal errors or instability if you install the opti-
mized defaults when your hardware does not support them. If you only
want to install setup defaults for a specific option, select and display that
option, and then press <F7>.

Set Supervisor/User Password

When this function is selected, the following message appears at the center
of the screen to assist you in creating a password
Type the password, up to eight characters, 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.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter
password. A message will confirm the password being disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter BIOS Setup
freely.
If you have selected "System" in "Security Option" of "BIOS Features
Setup" menu, you will be prompted for the password every time the system
reboots or any time you try to enter BIOS Setup.
If you have selected "Setup" at "Security Option" from "BIOS Features
Setup" menu, you will be prompted for the password only when you enter
BIOS Setup.
Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. You can use
Supervisor
Password when booting the system or entering BIOS Setup to
modify all settings. Also you can use User Password when booting the system
or entering BIOS Setup but can not modify any setting if Supervisor Password
is enabled.
