A.2.11 Set Supervisor/User Password

Either supervisor or user password, or both of them can be set in this option. The differences between them are:

1.supervisor password: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.

2.user password: just can enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup menus.

When this function is selected, the following message will appear at the center of the screen for creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Type the password with eight characters at most, and press <Enter>. The password typed will now clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. Then, confirm the password by typing the password again and pressing <Enter>. Or, not enter a password and abort the selection by pressing <Esc>.

To disable the password by pressing <Enter> without typing in any password when the message “Enter Password” is showed. Then, message below will appear to confirm that the password has been disabled.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and enter Setup freely.

When a password is enabled, it has to be typed to enter the Setup every time. This prevents any unauthorized person from changing the system configuration.

Additionally when a password is enabled, the BIOS can also set to request a password every time the system reboots. This would prevent unauthorized use of the computer.

The user can determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”, the password is required during boot up and entry into Setup. If it set as “Setup”, prompting will only occur prior to entering Setup.
