BIOS Security Passwords

The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can

be accessed and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user

password can be set for the BIOS Setup and for booting the computer, with the

following restrictions:

• The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup

options. If only the supervisor password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password

prompt of Setup gives the user restricted access to Setup.

• If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, you must enter either the

supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Setup options are then

available for viewing and changing depending on whether the supervisor or user

password was entered.

• Setting a user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password

prompt is displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor

password is set, the computer boots without asking for a password. If both

passwords are set, you can enter either password to boot the computer.

For instructions on resetting the password, go to Clearing Passwords on page 60.

Hard Disk Drive Passwords

The board’s Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks read and write accesses

to the hard disk drive until the correct password is entered. Hard disk drive passwords

are set in BIOS Setup and are prompted for during the POST. For convenient support

of ACPI S3 resume, the system BIOS automatically unlocks drives on resume from S3.

The User hard disk drive password, when set, will be required upon each power cycle

until the Master Key or User hard disk drive password is entered.

The Master Key hard disk drive password, when set, will not lock the hard disk drive.

The Master Key hard disk drive password is an unlock override that can be used in the

event that the User hard disk drive password has been forgotten. Only the installation

of the User hard disk drive password will cause a hard disk drive to be locked upon a

system power cycle.

Table 4 shows the effects of setting the

hard disk drive passwords.
