4.5.11 Supervisor / User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences between
are:
supervisor password: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
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 Section 3). 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.
