Section 7 Other Setup Options
Auto-Detect Hard Disks
Choose this option to let AMIBIOS automatically detect the hard disk drive
parameters. The Standard CMOS Setup screen will appear after AMIBIOS has
configured the drives. Press <Esc> and choose Save Settings and Exit to
reconfigure the system configuration with the new hard disk drive parameters.
AMIBIOS Password Support
Two Levels of Password Protection
AMIBIOS provides both a Supervisor and a User password.
If you use both passwords, the Supervisor password must be set first.
The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time
the system boots or when AMIBIOS Setup is executed, using either or both the
Supervisor password or User password.
The Supervisor and User passwords activate two different levels of password
security.
Set the
Password Check
option in Advanced Setup (see the Advanced Setup
section ) by choosing either
Always
(the password prompt appears every time
the system is powered on) or
Setup
(the password prompt appears only when
AMIBIOS Setup is executed). The password is encrypted and stored in
NVRAM.
If you select password support, you are prompted for a 1 – 6 character
password. Type the password on the keyboard. The password does not appear
on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you
must drain NVRAM and reconfigure.
Remember the Password
Keep a record of the new password when the password is changed. If
you forget the password, you must erase the system configuration information in
NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory). See page 14 for information
about erasing system configuration information.
