Award BIOS Setup Utility
3.1.10 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 selected in the BIOS Features Setup. 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 BIOS Features Setup.
Using user’s password to enter Setup allows a user to access only the “User Password” option that appears on the main screen. Access to all other options is denied. To set, confirm, verify, disable or delete a user’s password, follow the procedures described in the section “Supervisor Password”. If you forget your password, refer to the procedure described in the same section.
