Entering a Setup Password

If a setup password has been established on the Computer, you will be
prompted to enter it each time you run Computer Setup.

1.  Turn on or restart the Computer. If you are in Windows, click Start

à

 Shut Down 

à

 Restart the Computer.

2.  When the F10=Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of

the screen, press the F10 key.

If you do not press the F10 key while the message is
displayed, you must restart the computer again to access
the utility.

3.  When the key icon appears on the monitor, type the setup

password, then press the Enter key.

Type carefully; for security reasons, the characters you
type do not appear on the screen.

If you enter the password incorrectly, a broken key icon appears. Try
again. After three unsuccessful tries, you must turn off the Computer,
then turn it on again before you can continue.
