BIOS Setup
3.1.12 Set 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 se- lected in the Advanced BIOS Features. 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 Advanced BIOS Features.
Using user’s password to enter Setup allows a user to access only “Set User Password” that appears in the main menu screen. Access to all other options is denied.
Use the arrow keys to highlight “Set User Password” and press <Enter>.
Type in the password. You are limited to eight characters. When done, the message below will appear:
Confirm Password:
You are asked to verify the password. Type in exactly the same password. If you type in a wrong password, you will be prompted to enter the correct password again. To delete or disable the password function, highlight “Set User Password” and press <Enter>, instead of typing in a new password. Press the <Esc> key to return to the main menu.
