How to set a password on the BIOS?

[pinoy3000]

LOLz, on my laptop i could set a password so noone can change my BIOS, but how about this Mobo that I have? I havent seen anything like such when I was surfing the BIOS.

I dont want my room mates in college to clock this thing without me knowing hehe. Who knows what they would do.

Is there a way to insure that only you can change the BIOS settings?

there should be an option right in the bios for it
look in your computer manual if you need to

On the boot tab there is a security section. This is where you can change the password. Keep in mind if yoour roomies know how to OC they would have no problem resetting the bios thus clearing your password. Unless you padlock you case.

What kind of password can you set? Ill go take a look, hopefully I wont forget the password too. haha, wait they can reset that also huh? Then I guess its useless, but I have a lock on my case so maybe not.

The bios can be restet by pulling the battery for five minutes or via a jumper setting. If you lock the case and they cannot get it problem solved.
