The Security Issue by Using Password Protection

Two Levels of Password Protection
This BIOS provides a Supervisor. If you try to activate passwords,
the Supervisor password must be set.
The passwords activate two different levels of protection security:
Have the Password Check item set in Advanced CMOS Setup
Menu (refer to Page 2-10, The Menu of Advanced CMOS Setup).
The passwords are encrypted and stored in NVRAM. If the
password protect is activated, an input 16-character password
prompt appears. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it,
you must have NVRAM erased and reconfigured.
The Option of Auto-Detect Hard Disk
By activation of this option, AMIBIOS will automatically detect the
hard disk drive parameters. The Standard CMOS Setup menu
would display after configuration of the hard drives.

The Option of Auto Configuration with Optimal Settings

It will automatically set all BIOS Setup options to a complete set
of default settings when you choose this option. The Optimal
settings are designed for maximum system performance, but may
not work best for all computer applications. Particularly do not use
the Optimal BIOS Setup options if your computer is experiencing
system configuration problems.
The Option of Auto Configration with Fail-Safe Settings
It will automatically set all BIOS Setup options to a complete set
of default settings when you choose this option. The Fail-Safe
settings are designed for maximum system stability, but not
maximum performance. Choose the Fail-Safe BIOS Setup
options if your computer is experiencing system configuration
problems.

The Option of Save Settings And Exit

When you have completed the system configuration modification,
choose this option to leave BIOS Setup with new parameters
saved and to reboot the computer. So the new system configura-
tion parameters can take effect.
