Description

 

 

Change Supervisor

You can install a Supervisor password, and if you install a

 

supervisor password, you can then install a user password.

 

A user password does not provide access to many of the

 

features in the Setup utility. Note, the Change User

 

Password option only appears after a Supervisor password

 

has been set.

 

Select this option and press <Enter> to access the sub

 

menu, a dialog box appears which lets you enter a

 

password. You can enter no more than six letters or

 

numbers. Press <Enter> after you have typed in the

 

password. A second dialog box asks you to retype the

 

password for confirmation. Press <Enter> after you have

 

retyped it correctly. If the password confirmation is

 

incorrect, an error message appears. The password is stored

 

in NVRAM after ezPORT completes. The password is

 

required at boot time, or when the user enters the Setup

 

utility.

Change User Password

Installs or changes the User password.

Prevent Back-flash

This option, when enabled, will prohibit the system BIOS

(Disabled default)

to downgrade to version 2.1.0 or earlier version.

 

WARNING: You will not be able to change the setting once

 

the feature is enabled. It is strongly recommended not

 

to enable this unless absolutely necessary.

 

NOTE: Once enabled, you cannot use the NVRAM clear

 

jumper to change the prevent back-flash settings to

 

disabled.
