When passwords are enabled, users must type the proper password to access the protected part of the system. Note: 1. It's easy to forget a password, so we strongly recommend writing down your passwords and storing them in a secure place. If you type the User password on entering SETUP, you cannot change the Supervisor Password or Diskette Access settings. Warning! If you forget the password, your system will not operate. You will have to completely clear the CMOS memory and reenter your entire system configuration. Write down your password and store it in a safe place. The following security items are available: · Set Supervisor Password · Set User Password · Password on Boot · Diskette Access · Fixed disk boot sector · System Backup Reminder · Virus Check Reminder Supervisor Password is Allows you to enter a system supervisor password. This password controls access to all features of your system. User Password is Accessible only after Supervisor Password is enabled, this allows you to enter a system user password.
