upper or lowercase letters.
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords: a Supervisor password
and a User password. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup program functions. When
enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the BIOS Setup program and having full
