Set Password menu
The Set Password menu allows you to set password in order to safeguard your system against
unauthorized use.
When you select this menu and press <Enter>, the Enter Password window will appear.
• To enable the password, set the password up to eight characters, then press <Enter>. The
password just typed will replace any previously set password. When asked to confirm the
password, type the password again and press <Enter> to save the changes.
You should further decide when the password is required. Select "Security Option" from
the Advanced BIOS Features menu, and press <Enter> to access its submenu.
• If the Security Option is set to Setup, the password is required when you access the
BIOS setup main screen.
• If the Security Option is set to System, the password is required both at boot and
when you access the BIOS setup main screen.
• To disable or clear the set password, simply press <Enter>. A message will appear
confirming the password will be disabled. When the password is disabled, you can enter the
BIOS setup main screen without entering any password.
Save & Exit Setup menu
After finished with your settings, you must save and exit so that the new settings can take effect.
When you select this menu and press <Enter>, a message window will appear.
• Typing <Y> will save settings to CMOS and exit BIOS setup.
• Typing <N> will cancel this command.
Exit Without Saving menu
The Exit Without Saving menu allows you to exit BIOS setup without saving the settings that
you have just specified.
When you select this menu and press <Enter>, a message window will appear.
• Typing <Y> and then pressing <Enter> will disregard any changes and restart the system.
• Typing <N> will cancel this command and return to the BIOS setup main screen.
Do NOT set the BIOS security password without having memorized it or
written it down and stored it with your VPC101 warranty documentation.
