▶Administrator Password
This item is used to set the administrator password. When a administrator password
has been set, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter BIOS Setup.
▶User Password
This item is used to set the user password. When a user password has been set, you
will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter the operating system.
Important
When you select the Administrator Password / User Password item, a password box will
appear on the screen. Type the password, and press <Enter>. The password typed now
will replace any previously set password from CMOS memory. You will be prompted to
confirm the password. Retype the password and press <Enter>. You may also press
<Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will show up confirming the password will be disabled. Once
the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup/ OS without
entering any password.
These two items prevent an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system
configuration.
