It's a recent Award bios with two password options- Supervisor and User.
According to the manual, the Supervisor password protects the "system and
bios", while the User password protects just the "system".
In practical terms, both require entry of a password to allow the computer
to boot into Windows. What I want is a way to protect against someone
entering the bios while not needing a password to do a normal boot.
