Unable to set BIOS user password

[ravisunny2]

[FONT=Calibri]I’ve never had to set the BIOS password, but the kids are growing up and I need to lock access to my PC.[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri] [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]My Bios has two Password Options: Supervisor and User.[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri] [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]The Supervisor password was accepted, and before I attempt to change the BIOS settings, the Supervisor password is asked for.[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri] [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]Then I set the user password. [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri] [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]However, when I boot up the PC, I am not asked for any password and windows loads as usual.[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri] [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]What am I missing?[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri] [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]The BIOS is Award Software International, Inc. F4 HI 07/03/2007[/FONT]

Do you have the option mentioned below?

Setting a BIOS Password

...
Now you'll want to set your system to ask for that password every time it boots, so select the BIOS FEATURES SETUP option, to see a menu something like this:

Fairly obviously, it's the Password Check option we're interested in, so select it and change the setting to ALWAYS.

etc....

[FONT=Calibri]Thank you very much, Clifford. [/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Under “Advanced BIOS Features”, there was an option “Password Check”.[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri] [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]By default that was set to “Setup”[/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri] [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]I changed that to “System”, and all systems are go![/FONT]
