Note
You must delete the User password before SETUP will
allow you to access the Supervisor password.
If you have forgotten your password(s), see “Password
Problems” in Chapter 6.
Using the Diskette Access Option
The Diskette Access option allows you to restrict access to
your diskette drives based on the password levels you have
defined. This prevents unauthorized users from accessing the
drives and possibly introducing a virus into your system. You
can restrict access only if passwords are enabled and you have
e n a b l e d t h e P a s s w o r d o n b o o t o p t i o n .
If you select Supervisor for this option you can access the
diskette drives only if you enter the Supervisor password
during system startup. Someone who starts the system with a
User password, however, will see an error message when he or
she tries to access the diskette drive. If you select User for the
Diskette Access option, you can access the diskette drives
whether you enter the Supervisor or User password during
startup.
Note
To use passwords for diskette drive access, you must enable
the Password on boot option. If you select a password

boot option disabled, you see an error message whenever
you try to access your diskette drive.
