Desktop and server computers utilizing an ASUS motherboard have many different configuration options available in the BIOS. You can set options for peripheral connectivity and motherboard features, such as enabling and disabling various ports, or set a BIOS password with the option of requiring the password for changing BIOS settings or for booting the computer. Reset an ASUS BIOS password back to the factory settings by using the "Clear CMOS" jumper on the motherboard.
