Supervisor password and a User password. When both of them are disabled,
anyone may access all BIOS Setup program functions.
Forgot the password?
If you forgot the password, you can clear the password by erasing the CMOS
Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM. The RAM data containing the password
information is powered by the onboard button cell battery. To erase the RTC
RAM: (1) Unplug your computer, (2) Short the solder points, (3) Turn ON
your computer, (4) Hold down <Delete> during bootup and enter BIOS
setup to re-enter user preferences.

Configuration options: [All Errors] [No Error] [All but Keyboard] [All but
Disk] [All but Disk/Keyboard]

tem during bootup. You do not need to make changes to this field. This is a
