2.11 Set Supervisor/User Password
The Supervisor/User Password utility sets the password. The mainboard
is shipped with the password disabled. If you want to change the pass-
word, you must first enter the current password, then at the prompt enter
your new password. The password is case sensitive. You can use up to
eight alphanumeric characters. Press <Enter> after entering the password.
At the next prompt, confirm the new password by retyping it and pressing
<Enter> again. To disable the password, press <Enter> instead of entering
a new password when the Enter Password dialog box appears. A message
appears confirming that the password has been disabled. If you have set
supervisor and user passwords, only the supervisor password allows you
to enter the BIOS Setup Program.
Note: If you forget your password, the only way to solve this problem is
to discharge the CMOS memory by turning power off and placing a shunt
(jumper cap) on jumper JP2 to short pin 2 and pin 3 for five seconds, then
putting the shunt back to pin 1 and pin 2 of JP2.
2.12 Save & Exit Setup
If you select this and press <Enter>, the values entered in the setup utili-
ties will be recorded in the CMOS memory of the chipset. The micropro-
cessor will check this every time you turn your system on and compare
this to what it finds as it checks the system. This record is required for the
system to operate.
2.13 Exit Without Saving
Selecting this option and pressing <Enter> lets you exit the setup program
without recording any new values or changing old ones.
