Lanner electronic FW-6420 manual Supervisor / User Password

3.11 Supervisor / User Password

The “SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD” utility sets the password. The SBC is shipped with the password disabled. If you want to change the password, you must first enter the current password, then at the prompt -- enter your new password. The password is case sensitive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters. Press <Enter> after you have finished typing in the password. At the next prompt, confirm the new password by re-typing it and pressing <Enter> again. When you are done, the screen automatically reverts to the main screen. Remember that when you use this feature, the “Security Option” line in BIOS FEATURES SETUP will determine when entering the password will be required.

To disable the password, press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password when the “Enter Password” in the dialog box appears. A message will appear confirming that the password is disabled.

If you have set both supervisor and user password, only the supervisor password allows you to enter the BIOS SETUP PROGRAM.

Note : If you forget your password, the only way to solve this problem is to discharge the CMOS memory.
