Supervisor Password

The Supervisor Password is the highest level password present on the computer. When the supervisor password has been set, it must be entered to access computer Setup. It also can be used to boot the computer if a User Password has been set.

Once set you will be prompted for a password when you enter system setup. Passwords can be up to eight characters long.

NOTE: If an incorrect password was used, you can still view the settings in System Setup. You will not be able to change any settings until a correct password has been entered.

NOTE: The supervisor password is a systems level password. Do not confuse this password with any operating system account password. If an account password is enabled in the operating system users and administrators must enter the operating system account password to gain access to the operating system.

If the supervisor password has been forgotten or lost, the password can only be removed using the CMOS jumper on the system board. More information on the use of the CMOS jumper can be found in the system board jumpers page. Using this jumper will also clear the user password.
