Award BIOS Setup Utility

3.1.10 User Password

If you want another user to have access only to your system but not to setup, set a user’s password with the “System” option selected in the BIOS Features Setup. If you want a user to enter a password when trying to access setup, set a user’s password with the “Setup” option selected in the BIOS Features Setup.

Using user’s password to enter Setup allows a user to access only the “User Password” option that appears on the main screen. Access to all other options is denied. To set, confirm, verify, disable or delete a user’s password, follow the procedures described in the section “Supervisor Password”. If you forget your password, refer to the procedure described in the same section.

Use this option to detect the parameters for the hard disk drives installed in your system. These parameters will then be automatically entered into the "Standard CMOS Setup". The IDE HDD Auto Detection screen displays the following categories of information: Size, Cylinders, Heads, Precomp, LandZone, Sectors and Mode.
