Setting a Power-on Password



Setting a Power-on Password

When a power-on password is set, you must enter a password each time you start the system.

If you forget the power-on password, and an administrator password has been set, use the administrator password at the power-on prompt, then start the Configuration/Setup utility program and change the power-on password. If no administrator password has been set, you must remove the battery before you can set a new password.

To set a power-on password:
  1.  Select Power-on Password on the System Security  menu, then press Enter.

     The Power-on Password screen appears.

  2.  Type the password in the Enter Power-on password data field.
  3.  Verify that you typed the correct password.  If you did not type the correct password, press Esc,  and type the correct password.
  4.  Repeat steps 2 through 3  for the Enter Power-on Password Again data field.
  5.  Select Set or Change Power-on Password  to save the new password.

    You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z,  a-z, and 0-9) for the power-on password.  Keep a record of the password in a secure place.



To delete a power-on password:
  1.  Select Power-on Password on the System Security  menu, then press Enter.

     The Power-on Password menu appears.

  2.  Select Delete Power-on Password, then press Enter.
  3.  A confirmation window appears. Press Enter to  delete the power-on password. Press Esc to  cancel the request and return to the System Security menu.
