In the Advanced CMOS Setup screen (Example 6–5), select AlphaBIOS
Password Option and use the arrow keys to select the type of protection
you want. An explanatory dialog box appears. Read the dialog box and press
Enter to continue.
4.
Enter your password in the Enter New Password dialog box, then press
Enter.
5.
Enter your password in the Confirm New Password dialog box, then press
Enter.

Press F10 to save your changes.
NOTE: To change your password, set up your password again.
