4.3.2.10Password Check

This option enables the password checking when the system boots up or runs CMOS Setup. It only takes effect after setting Change Supervisor Password.

Setup: This option will force system to check password before running Setup if you have already entered the current user password in “Change User Password”. By that time, the system will be only able to boot but deny accessing Setup.

Always: Password prompt appears every boot-up. The system will not boot and deny access Setup with invalid password. The best way is to clear CMOS or try to reload BIOS Setup to boot up system.
