SPI-8450-LLVA

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences between are:

SUPERVISOR PASSWORD: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.

USER PASSWORD: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the

setup menus. When you select this unction, the following message will appear at the center of

the screen to assist you in creating a password.

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.
