Setting a Password
The password check option is enabled in Advanced Setup (see the Advanced
Setup section ) by choosing either Always (the password prompt appears every
time the system is powered on) or Setup (the password prompt appears only
when WINBIOS is run). The password is encrypted and stored in NVRAM.
As shown on the above screen, you are prompted for a 1 – 6 character
password. You can either type the password on the keyboard or select each
letter of the password, one at a time, using the mouse. The password does not
appear on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget
it, you must drain NVRAM and reconfigure.
If You Do Not Want to Use a Password Just press <Enter> when the password prompt
appears.
