Password Setting
When this function is selected, the following message appears at the center of the screen
to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD
Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. The password typed now
will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to
confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press
<Esc> to abort the selection.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A
message will confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is disabled, the
system will boot and you can enter BIOS Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED
If you have selected
System
in Security Option of BIOS Features Setup menu, you will
be prompted for the password every time the system reboots or any time you try to enter
BIOS Setup.
If you have selected
Setup
at Security Option from BIOS Features Setup menu, you will be
prompted for the password only when you enter BIOS Setup.
Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. You can use Supervisor
Password when booting the system or entering BIOS Setup to modify all settings. Also you
can use User Password when booting the system or entering BIOS Setup but can not
modify any setting if Supervisor Password is enabled.
Boot with BIOS defaults
If you have made all the changes to CMOS values and the system can not boot with the
CMOS values selected in setup, clear CMOS after power-down, then power on again.
System will boot with BIOS default settings.
