56 Chapter 4 Phoenix-Award BIOS Setup PASSWORD SETTING The Setup program allows user to set either supervisor or user password, or both of them. The differences between the two are - Supervisor Password menus. User password Can enter & change the options of the setup Can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup menus. TO SET PASSORD When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password. Enter Password Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password. TO DISABLE A PASSORD To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled. PASSWORD DISABLED!!! Press any key to continue Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely. 4-26

57 Chapter 4 Phoenix-Award BIOS Setup Reminders: When a password is set, you will be prom pted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup program. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration. In addition, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would prevent unauthorized use of your computer. You may determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security Options. If the Security option is set to System, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to Setup. If set to Setup, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup EXIT SETUP PROGRAM There are two ways to exit the Setup program. On the Main Menu, select the Save & Exit Setup or Exit Without Saving. SAVE & EXIT SETUP Select this category if you have made any changes in the menus in CMOS. Pressing <Enter> on this item, and it will asks for confirmation: Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y Pressing <Y> key to stores the changes made in the menus in CMOS. The next time you boot your computer, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the system is restarted again. EXIT WITHOUT SAVING Pressing the <Enter> key on this item, and it will asks for confirmation: Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y This allows you to exit Setup program without storing any changes. The previous selections remain in effect. 4-27

58 Chapter 4 Phoenix-Award BIOS Setup IN CASE OF PROBLEMS In case after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the Phoenix AwardBIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults. The best advice is to only alter settings in which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend you to avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by the manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override. 4-28
