Setting user and supervisor passwords
The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the Setup options in
the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.
The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the BIOS Setup
program. This is the user mode.
If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password prompt of the
BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the supervisor
password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to Setup respective to
which password is entered.
Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt will be
displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the computer
boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, the user can enter either
password to boot the computer.
If no password is set, any user can change all Setup options.
For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user passwords.
Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9.
