Set Supervisor Password / Set User Password

These 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 password

is case sensitive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters long. Type in your pass-

word and then press <Enter>. The system confirms your password by asking you to type

it again.

To implement password protection, specify in the “Advanced CMOS 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.

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

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.
