If the password is forgotten, it can be cleared by turning off the system and setting the "password clear" jumper
(See Appendix B: table B-1) to the ON position and briefly powering up the system. The Administrative
password and User password are both cleared by this operation. After returning the jumper to the “password
keep” position, a new password can be entered in Setup to re-enable password protection.
Setup Enable Jumper
A motherboard configuration jumper (See Appendix B: table B-1) controls access to the BIOS Setup utility.
By setting the jumper to the disable position, the user is prevented from accessing the Setup utility during the
Power-On Self Test or at any other time. The message prompting the user to press <F1> to enter setup is also
disabled.
Floppy Write Protect
A BIOS setup option under “floppy options” prevents writing to any attached floppy drives. This field is
controlled by the administrative password and can be altered only if the administrative password (if set) is
entered.
