4. Jumpers
4.1. Clear CMOS Jumper The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard
battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pins 2
and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pins 1 and 2 afterwards.
Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard. The
default setting is on pins 1 and 2.

Clear CMOS Off On On
Table 10: CLEAR CMOS jumper settings
Note:
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap from the CLEAR_CMOS jumper default
position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system
is on; it will damage the mainboard.

5.20. Set Supervisor/User Password
This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a
password has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever BIOS
Setup is run. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of
your system configuration.
There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor password and a
user password. When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS Setup program
can be accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed. When a user
password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed but the BIOS
settings cannot be changed.
To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length) and
press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously set
password from CMOS memory. The new password will need to be reentered
to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>.
To disable the password, press <Enter> when prompted to enter a new
password. A message will show up to confirm disabling the password. To
cancel the process press <Esc>.+

Additionally, when a password is enabled, the BIOS can be set to request the
password each time the system is booted. This would prevent unauthorized
use of the system. See “Security Option” in the “Advanced BIOS Features”
section for more details.
