If the password confirmation is entered correctly, the following message displays:
New supervisor password installed, press any key to continue
When you press any key, the screen returns to the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu screen, which
allows you to save the password change or exit from Setup without saving the new password. To
save the new password in CMOS memory, be sure to select Save Settings and Exit .
If you save the changes when you exit AMIBIOS Setup, the password is stored in CMOS RAM.
The next time the system boots, you are prompted for the password if the password function is
present and is enabled. (See Advanced CMOS Setup later in this manual for an explanation of
how to enable password checking.)
Note : Be sure to keep a record of the new password each time it is changed. If you forget it, use
the Password Clear jumper to reset it to the default (null password). See the Specifica-
tions section of this manual for details.
Change User Password
The Change User Password function is accessible only if the supervisor password has been estab-
lished previously.
The Change User Password option is similar in functionality to the Change Supervisor Password
and displays the same messages, except that “user” replaces “supervisor.” If you have signed on
under the user password, you cannot change the supervisor password.
Disabling the Password(s)
To disable password checking so that the password prompt does not appear under any circum-
stances, you may create null passwords using the Change Supervisor Password and Change User
Password functions by pressing <Enter> without typing in a new password. You will be asked to
confirm the password. Select <Enter> again and the following message displays:
When you press any key, the screen returns to the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu, which allows you
to save the password change or exit from Setup without saving the null password. To save the null
password(s) in CMOS memory, be sure to select Save Settings and Exit .
Auto Configuration Options
Each AMIBIOS Setup option has two default settings (Optimal and Fail Safe). These settings can
be applied to all AMIBIOS Setup options when you select the appropriate auto configuration op-
tion from the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu.
You can use these auto configuration options to quickly set the system configuration parameters
which should provide the best performance characteristics, or you can select a group of settings
which have a better chance of working when the system is having configuration-related problems.
