This is the message which displays before you have established a password or if the last
password entered was the null password. If a password has already been established, you
are asked to enter the current password before being prompted to enter the new
password.
Type the new password and press <Enter>. The password cannot exceed six (6)
characters in length. The screen does not display the characters as you type them.
After you have entered the new password, the following window displays:
Re-key the new password as described above.
If the password confirmation is miskeyed, AMIBIOS Setup displays the following
message:
No retries are permitted; you must restart the procedure from the AMIBIOS Setup Main
Menu.
If the password confirmation is entered correctly, the following message displays:
When you press any key, the screen returns to the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu screen,
which allows you to save the password change or exit from Setup without saving the new
password. To save the new password in CMOS memory, be sure to select Save Settings
and Exit.
If you save the changes when you exit AMIBIOS Setup, the password is stored in CMOS
RAM. The next time the system boots, you are prompted for the password if the
password function is present and is enabled. (See Advanced CMOS Setup later in this
manual for an explanation of how to enable password checking.)

NOTE: Be sure to keep a record of the new password each time it is changed. If you
forget it, use the Password Clear jumper to reset it to the default (null password). See the
Specifications chapter of this manual for details.
