Setting a password

The password check option is enabled in Advanced Setup by choosing either
Always (the password prompt appears every time the system is powered on) or
Setup (the password prompt appears only when WINBIOS is run). The
password is stored in CMOS RAM. You can enter a password by performing
any of the following actions:
When you select Supervisor or User, AMIBIOS prompts for a password. You
must set the Supervisor password before you can set the User password. Enter
a one to six character password. The password does not appear on the screen
when typed. If you forget the password, you must drain CMOS RAM and

reconfigure the system.

Changing a password

Select the appropriate password icon (Supervisor or User) from the Security
section of the WINBIOS Setup main menu. Type the password and press
<Enter>. The screen does not display the characters entered. After the new
password is entered, retype the new password as prompted and press <Enter>.
If the password confirmation is incorrect, an error message appears. If the new
password is entered without error, press <Esc> to return to the WINBIOS Main
Menu. The password is stored in CMOS RAM after WINBIOS completes. The
next time the system boots, you are prompted for the password if the password
function is present and is enabled.

Remember the password

When the password is changed, keep a record of the new password. If you
forget the password, the only method of recovery is to power the CPV5000
down and remove the battery for one minute. Reinsert the battery before
applying power to the CPV5000. All CMOS settings are lost when the battery
is removed.
