Resetting a password
If you have forgotten the user password, the computer will continue to function
normally but you will have limited access to the Setup utility.
If you have enabled the Password on Boot field and you forget the supervisor
password, you will not be able to boot up the computer. The same thing applies
if you forget the HDD password.
To clear a lost BIOS password (user or supervisor password) you need to short
the clear password hardware gap located on the system board. Go to page 40
for instructions.
To regain access to your computer if you lose the HDD password, you need to
generate a master password and unlock your hard drive. Go to page 41 for
instructions.
