Set Supervisor/User Password

These two items set passwords for system access.

Setting a Password

You can install a Supervisor or User Password. The password prevents access to the CMOS Setup Utility (Super- visor) or the entire system (User).

To install a password, follow these steps:

1.Highlight either Set Password item in the main menu and press Enter.

2.The password dialog box will appear.

3.If you are entering a new password, carefully type in the password. You cannot use more than eight characters or numbers. Passwords are case-sensi- tive. Press Enter after you have typed in the pass- word. If you are deleting a password that is already installed just press Enter when the password dialog box appears.

4.The system will ask you to confirm the new pass- word by asking you to type it in a second time. Care- fully type the password again and press Enter, or just press Enter if you are deleting a password that is already installed.

5.If you have used the correct format, the password will be installed.

If you decide not to set a password after bringing up the password entry window, press the Enter key, not Esc to exit the password entry window.

Save & Exit Setup

This saves the current utility configuration as a new configuration record, exits the utility and restarts the system using the saved configuration record.

Exit Without Saving

Exits the utility and restarts the system without changing the saved configuration record.

In general, it should not be necessary to use the CMOS Setup Utility once you have fully configured it. In the event you do need to change or re-establish the settings, always make sure to save the settings when you exit the utility or the new settings will not be stored.
