A Note about Passwords

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu. The passwords control access to the BIOS during system startup. The passwords are not case sensitive. In other words, it makes no difference whether you enter a password using upper or lowercase letters. The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords: a Supervisor password and a User password. When dis- abled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup program functions. When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the BIOS Setup program and having full access to all configuration fields.

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 powered by the onboard button cell battery.

To erase the RTC RAM:

(1)Unplug your computer.

(2)Remove the battery from the motherboard.

(3)Wait at least 30 seconds and replace the battery.

(4)Short the solder points (see below for location).

(5)Turn ON your computer.

(6)Hold down <Delete> during bootup and enter BIOS setup to re-enter user preferences.
