Passwords
You can specify passwords in the
Security
menu. The passwords control access
to the BIOS and certain
Security
menu options during system startup.
The passwords are not case sensitive. In other words, a password can be entered
using either upper or lower case letters; it makes no difference. If you forget your
password, your system will have to be sent to Micron to have it removed at your
expense.

:
Large Disk Access mode controls how the disk controller accesses the disk
volume. Setting the option to Other may cause the hardware not to recognize
DOS, Windows or other DOS based operating system disk formats.
Set User Password
To set the User password, follow the same instructions for setting the Supervisor
password. The User password allows restricted access to the Setup menus. This
password also requires that the Supervisor password be set prior to setting the
User password.
This option requires prior setting of the Supervisor password to function. When
enabled, the system will then require either the Supervisor or User password
before the system can bootup.
