Using Passwords
Entering a Power-On Password
Notes:
If the return to normal operation
is caused by a preset timer or
an incoming call through the
modem, the password prompt
does not appear. To display a
power-on password prompt,
press any key or move your
pointing device.
To resume from standby mode
when the computer is attached
to the Dock I or Dock II, you
might need to enter the
power-on password.
If a power-on password is set, the password prompt reminds you to
enter the password when:
Turning on the computer.
Returning to normal operation from suspend mode.
When the password prompt appears at the top left corner on the
screen, do the following:
1
Type your power-on password.
Each time you press a key, the symbol appears.
When typing your password, release each key quickly. If
you hold a key down too long, the same letter can be
entered repeatedly.
2
Press the Enter key.
When the password is entered correctly, OK appears and
the computer starts normal operation.
When you enter the password incorrectly, X appears.
Enter the correct password.
If you fail to enter the correct password after three tries,
you must turn the computer off, wait at least 5 seconds,
and turn it on to try again.
