DISABLING THE PASSWORD(S)

AUTO

CONFIGURATION

OPTIONS

The Change User Password option is similar in functionality to the Change Supervisor Password and displays the same messages, except that "user" replaces "supervisor." If you have signed on under the user password, you cannot change the supervisor password.

To disable password checking so that the password prompt does not appear under any circumstances, you may create null passwords using the Change Supervisor Password and Change User Password functions by pressing <Enter> without typing in a new password. You will be asked to confirm the password. Select <Enter> again and the following message displays:

Supervisor password disabled, press any key to continue

When you press any key, the screen returns to the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu, which allows you to save the password change or exit from Setup without saving the null password. To save the null password(s) in CMOS memory, be sure to select Save Settings and Exit.

Each AMIBIOS Setup option has two default settings (Optimal and Fail Safe). These settings can be applied to all AMIBIOS Setup options when you select the appropriate auto configuration option from the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu.

You can use these auto configuration options to quickly set the system configuration parameters which should provide the best performance characteristics, or you can select a group of settings which have a better chance of working when the system is having configuration-related problems.

Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings

This option allows you to load the Optimal default settings. These settings are best-case values which should provide the best performance characteristics. If CMOS RAM is corrupted, the Optimal settings are loaded automatically.

If you select the Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings option, the following window displays:

Load high performance settings (Y/N) ? N

You have two options:

•Press 'N' and <Enter> to leave the current values in effect.

•Press 'Y' and <Enter> to load the Optimal default settings.
