Help me 'bout BIOS security feature

[kilsmap]

why when i set the user password at BIOS it can't be erased or changed (it says "view only item")? what do i have to do to reset the password?

It very much depends on the motherboard you are using. The reset cmos jumper will erase it along with all other settings changes you may have made to the bios.

For better help we really need to know what motherboard, system, and bios you are using.
