If you start the computer by using the power switch, the computer
operates the same as it does in password prompt On mode. Refer to
page 50 for further information.
If the computer is started by an unattended method, such as remotely
over a LAN, the computer operates the same as it does in password
prompt Off mode. Refer to page 51 for further information.
If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can type either
password at the password prompt that appears as you start your computer. However,
if you want to change any settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you
must type your administrator password at the password prompt that appears when
you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you type your power-on
password at this prompt, you will be able to view limited information in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, but you will not be able to change any
settings.
The password does not appear on the screen as you type it. If you type the wrong
password, you receive a screen message telling you so. If you type the wrong
password three times, you must turn the computer off and start again. When you
type the correct password, the keyboard and mouse will unlock, and the computer
will begin normal operation.
Setting and Changing a Power-On Password:
Use the Configuration/Setup
Utility program to set or change a power-on password. You can use any
combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for this password.
Attention:
Keep a record of your power-on password in a secure place. When a
power-on password has been set, you cannot activate the keyboard and mouse
without first using the password. If you lose or forget your password, you cannot
change or delete it without removing the computer cover and moving a jumper on
the system board. Refer to “Erasing a Lost or Forgotten Administrator Password”
on page 57 for further information.
