3.11 Set Supervisor/User Password

When you select this function, the following dialog box will ap-

pear on the screen:

Type the password, up to six characters in length, and press <Enter>.

The password typed now will replace any previously set password from

CMOS memory. You will be prompted to confirm the password. Re-

type 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 without entering any password.

When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it

every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person

from changing any part of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also have Award

BIOS to request a password each time the system is booted. This would

prevent unauthorized use of your computer. The setting to determine

when the password prompt is required is the Security Option of the

ADVANCED BIOS FEATURES menu. If the Security Option is set to

System, the password is required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If

set to Setup, password prompt only occurs when you try to enter Setup.

About Supervisor Password & User Password:

Supervisor password: Can enter and change the settings of

the setup menu.

User password: Can only enter but do not have the right

to change the settings of the setup menu.
