3.5 - Security Menu

The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time

the system boots or when BIOS Setup is entered, using either the Supervisor
password or User password. The Supervisor and User passwords activate two
different levels of password security. If you select password support, you are
prompted for a one to six character password. Type the password on the keyboard.
The password does not appear on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it
down. If you forget it, you must clear CMOS and reconfigure.
