Advanced Setup

 

 

Two options are available:

•Select Setup to have the password prompt appear only when an attempt is made to enter the AMIBIOS Setup program.

•Select Always to have the password prompt appear each time the system is powered on.

_______________________________________________________________________

NOTE: To disable password checking, a null password should be entered in the Change Supervisor Password or Change User Password function in the AMIBIOS Setup Main Menu. (See the Running AMIBIOS Setup section of this manual.) The null password is the system default and is in effect if a password has not been assigned or if the CMOS has been corrupted.
