Load Optimized Defaults
Load Fail-Safe Defaults
Press <Enter> to select this option. A dialogue box will pop up that allows you to
load the default BIOS settings. Select <Y> and then press <Enter> to load the
defaults. Select <N> and press <Enter> to exit without loading. The defaults set
by BIOS set the basic system functions in order to ensure system stability. But if
your computer cannot POST properly, you should load the fail-safe defaults to
restore the default settings, then carry out failure testing. If you only intend to
load the defaults for a specific option, you can select the desired option and
press the <F6> key.
Select this option and press <Enter>, and a dialogue box will pop up to let you
load the optimized BIOS default settings. Select <Y> and then press <Enter> to
load the optimized defaults. Select <N> and press <Enter> to exit without loading.
The defaults set by BIOS are the optimized performance parameters for the system,
to improve the performance of your system components. However, if the opti-
mized performance parameters are not supported by your hardware devices, it
will likely cause system reliability and stability issues. If you only want to load the
optimized default for a specific option, select the desired option and press the
<F7> key.
Set Supervisor/User Password
The access rights and permissions associated with the Supervisor password are
higher than those of a regular User password. The Supervisor password can be
used to start the system or modify the CMOS settings. The User password can
also start the system. While the User password can be used to view the current
CMOS settings, these settings cannot be modified using the User password.
When you select the Set Supervisor/User Password option, the following message
will appear in the center of the screen, which will help you to set the password:
Enter Password:
Enter your password, not exceeding 8 characters, then press <Enter>. The
password you entered will replace any previous password. When prompted,
key in the new password and press <Enter>.
