The BIOS displays the Save
Configuration Changes And Exit Now screen:
Make sure the black highlight is on the OK button. (It should be there by
default.) If not, press TAB to move it there.
Press ENTER to ???click??? the Yes button. Your PC restarts. This time, it boots
from the optical drive if that drive contains a bootable disk.
Step 5: Set a Supervisor Password and User Password
To prevent other people from making changes to the PC??™s BIOS without your permission,
you can set a supervisor password and make the BIOS challenge anyone who
tries to access the BIOS. You can also set a user password that allows the user to access
the BIOS but gives the user limited access, so that the user can see BIOS settings but
not change them. (This can be useful if you need the user to be able to report BIOS
settings to a remote help desk.) The steps for setting a supervisor password and user
password are similar on the PhoenixBIOS and the AMIBIOS. The first section shows
the PhoenixBIOS, and the second shows the AMIBIOS.

make changes.

You can also set the BIOS to require a password before anyone??”whether supervisor
or user??”can use the PC at all.
