IV. BIOS SETUP

Supervisor Password and User Password

These two options set the system passwords. “Supervisor Password” sets a pass-

word 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 password and then press <Enter>. The system confirms your password by

asking you to type it again. After setting a password, the screen automatically re-

verts 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.

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.
