FPC 8084 User s Manual
A.2.11 Set Supervisor/User Password
Either supervisor or user password, or both of them can be set in this
option. The differences between them are:
1. supervisor password: can enter and change the options of
the setup menus.
2. user password: just can enter but do not have the right to
change the options of the setup menus.
When this function is selected, the following message will appear at
the center of the screen for creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password with eight characters at most, and press <Enter>.
The password typed will now clear any previously entered password
from CMOS memory. Then, confirm the password by typing the
password again and pressing <Enter>. Or, not enter a password and
abort the selection by pressing <Esc>.
To disable the password by pressing <Enter> without typing in any
password when the message “Enter Password” is showed. Then,
message below will appear to confirm that the password has been
disabled.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and enter Setup
freely.
When a password is enabled, it has to be typed to enter the Setup
every time. This prevents any unauthorized person from changing the
system configuration.
Additionally when a password is enabled, the BIOS can also set to
request a password every time the system reboots. This would
prevent unauthorized use of the computer.
The user can determine when the password is required within the
BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security
option is set to “System”, the password is required during boot up and
entry into Setup. If it set as “Setup”, prompting will only occur prior to
entering Setup.
