acters. Symbols and other keys are ignored. To confirm the password, type the pass-

A Note about Passwords

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify passwords in the Main menu. The

passwords control access to the BIOS during system startup. The passwords are not

case sensitive. In other words, it makes no difference whether you enter a password

using upper or lowercase letters.

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords: a Supervisor

password and a User password. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS Setup

program functions. When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering

the BIOS Setup program and having full access to all Security menu options.
