IV.
BIOS SOFTWARE
Supervisor Password and User Password
Two options set the system passwords. “Supervisor Password” sets a password that
will be used to protect the system and the Setup utility; “User Password” sets a
password that will be used exclusively on the system. By default, the system comes
without any passwords. To specify a password, highlight the type you want and then
press <Enter>. A password prompt appears on the screen. Taking note that the pass-
word is case sensitive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters long, type in your
password and then press <Enter>. The system confirms your password by asking
you to type it again. After setting a password, the screen automatically reverts to the
main screen.
To implement password protection, specify in the “Security Option” field of the
BIOS Features Setup screen when the system will prompt for the password. If you
want to disable either password, press <Enter> instead of entering a new password
when the “Enter Password” prompt appears. A message confirms the password has
been disabled.
NOTE:
If you forget the password, see “RTC RAM” in

section for procedures on clearing the RTC data.
