4.11 Supervisor and 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 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 the password protection, specify in the “Security Option” field of 4.4

BIOS Features Setup when the system will prompt for the password. If you want to

disable either passwords, press <Enter> instead of entering a new password when

the “Enter Password” prompt appears. A message confirms the password has been

disabled.
