It is case-sensitive for upper and lower case characters.
Protecting BIOS Setup Utility (supervisor and user password)
If you have opened these operating instructions on the screen, we recommend that
you print out the following instructions. Because you cannot call the instructions
onto the screen while you are setting up the password.
BIOS Setup Utility
Both the supervisor password and the user password are used to prevent unauthorised use of
the
BIOS Setup Utility
. With the supervisor password you have access to all functions of the
BIOS
Setup Utility
, whereas you can only access some of the functions with the user password. You
can only set a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.
