passwords
The Setup Utility allows you to 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.
The "Supervisor Password" controls access to the BIOS Setup Utility screen and can be
used to access the system during boot up. The "User Password" controls the usage of the
system. If so enabled, the end-user could be required to enter a password to be able to
boot up the system.
NOTE
When Passwords are set and Enabled in the BIOS, the system will prompt for passwords in
the appropriate situations.
* During System Boot and BIOS entry, if three (3) WRONG passwords are entered,
the system will be disabled and will require the user to reset the system.
