2-11 Set Supervisor/User Password

Press <Enter> on this item and type the password with up to 8 characters and then press <Enter>. You
will be requested to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>.

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords:

Supervisor Password

When a system password is set and the Password Check item in Advanced BIOS Features is
set to Setup, you must enter the supervisor password for entering BIOS Setup and making BIOS
changes.
When the Password Check item is set to System, you must enter the supervisor password (or
user password) at system startup and when entering BIOS Setup.

User Password

When the Password Check item is set to System, you must enter the supervisor password (or
user password) at system startup to continue system boot. In BIOS Setup, you must enter the
supervisor password if you wish to make changes to BIOS settings. The user password only
allows you to view the BIOS settings but not to make changes.

To clear the password, press <Enter> on the password item and when requested for the password,
press <Enter> again. The message "PASSWORD DISABLED" will appear, indicating the password has
been cancelled.
