Lanner electronic FW-7870 Series User Manual

 

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password 
typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be 
asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also 
press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password. 

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. 
A message will confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the 
system will boot and you can enter Setup freely. 

 

When a password has been enabled, 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 require the BIOS to request a password 
every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer. 

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its 
Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be 
required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when 
trying to enter Setup.
