4.2.10 Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences
between are:
Set Supervisor Password: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
Set User Password: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of
the setup menus. When you select this function, the following message will appear at the
center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, 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 and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is
disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try
to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your
system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a
password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of
your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its
Security option (see Chapter 4). If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will
be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs
when trying to enter Setup.
