A Note about Passwords
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu. The
passwords control access to the BIOS during system startup. Passwords are not case
sensitive, meaning, it makes no difference whether you the password using uppercase
or lowercase letters. The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two different
passwords: a Supervisor password and a User password. If you did not set a Supervisor
password, anyone can access the BIOS Setup program. If you did, the Supervisor
password is required to enter the BIOS Setup program and to gain full access to the
configuration fields.
Forgot the Password?
If you forget your password, you can clear it by erasing the CMOS Real Time Clock
(RTC) RAM. The RAM data containing the password information is powered by the
onboard button cell battery. Refer to 3.4 Motherboard Settings for the location of the
R263 solder points.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the cell battery.
3. Short the solder points R263 on the motherboard
4. Re-install the battery and turn ON the computer
