3.7   BIOS Security Menu 

The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time the 

system boots or when BIOS Setup is entered, using either the Supervisor password or 

User password. The Supervisor and User passwords activate two different levels of 

password security. If you select password support, you are prompted for a one to six 

character password. Type the password on the keyboard. The password does not appear 

on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you must clear 

CMOS and reconfigure.
