Change Supervisor Password
This item lets you configure the system password which is
required every time when the system boots up or an

lose the password, the only way to access the system is
to clear CMOS memory by holding down the <End>
key then powering on to reboot the system.

them into the Standard CMOS Setup. This utility will
autodetect up to four IDE devices.
