Using the System Setup Program

Change Supervisor

You can install a Supervisor password, and if you install a

supervisor password, you can then install a user password.

A user password does not provide access to many of the

features in the Setup utility. Note, the Change User

Password option only appears after a Supervisor password

has been set.
Select this option and press <Enter> to access the sub

menu, a dialog box appears which lets you enter a

password. You can enter no more than six letters or

numbers. Press <Enter> after you have typed in the

password. A second dialog box asks you to retype the

password for confirmation. Press <Enter> after you have

retyped it correctly. If the password confirmation is

incorrect, an error message appears. The password is stored

in NVRAM after ezPORT completes. The password is

required at boot time, or when the user enters the Setup

utility.

Change User Password

Installs or changes the User password.

Prevent Back-flash

(Disabled default)

This option, when enabled, will prohibit the system BIOS

to downgrade to version 2.1.0 or earlier version.

WARNING:

You will not be able to change the setting once

the feature is enabled. It is strongly recommended not

to enable this unless absolutely necessary.

NOTE:

Once enabled, you cannot use the NVRAM clear

jumper to change the prevent back-flash settings to

disabled.
