Entering a Boot Password
When the computer requires you to enter a Boot password, you
see a screen containing this prompt after you turn on or reset
the computer:
Enter your BOOT PASSWORD:
Type the correct password and press
Enter.
To protect your
password, the screen does not display the characters you type;
you only see a box indicating each character as you type it.
If you do not type the correct password, the computer repeats
the password prompt. Try typing the password again; the
computer allows you three tries to enter it correctly. After the
third incorrect attempt, the system beeps, reboots, and displays
another prompt. You have three more tries.
