Load Fail-Safe / Optimized Defaults - OEM 6513WU Reference

Load Fail-Safe / Optimized Defaults

If you select "Load Fail-Safe Defaults" or "Load Optimized Defaults" from the
main menu, some default values will be loaded to the option setup menus such
as Advanced BIOS Features, Advanced Chipset Features, Integrated
Peripherals, Power Management Setup, and PnP/PCI Configuration menus.
The "Fail-Safe" default values have been set to assumedly provide minimum
performance for the system. The settings are non-optimal and disable all high
performance features.
The "Optimized" default values have been set to assumedly provide maximum
performance for the system.
Set Supervisor / User Password
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The
differences between them are:
•
Supervisor password can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
•
User password can only enter but do not have the right to change the
options of the setup menus.
When you select this function, message will appear at the center of the screen
to assist you in entering a password. Type the password and press [Enter].
Note the password is case-sensitive and can be up to eight characters in length.
The password typed now will clear any previously entered password. You will
be asked to confirm the password by typing it again and pressing [Enter].
To disable a password, just press [Enter] when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm the password 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 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 your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the "Advanced BIOS
Features" menu and its Security option (see "Advanced BIOS Features" in this
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.
