Using Passwords
Note:
When you type a wrong key, use the
Backspace key to erase it and then
type the correct key.
3
Type your desired power-on password; then press
Enter.
You can use any combination of up to 7 characters. Use a
combination of any letters or numbers (
A to Z, 0 to 9) in
uppercase (
A) or lowercase (a). Uppercase and lowercase
letters (for example,
A and a) are treated the same.
4
Type your power-on password again to verify it; then
press Enter.
Do Not Forget Your Power-On Password!
If you forget your power-on password, you cannot reset it. You
have to take the computer to an IBM authorized reseller or IBM
marketing representative to have the password canceled. Proof
of purchase is required, and an additional charge might be
required for the service.
Once you set the password, you cannot change or remove it in
Easy-Setup; you must change or remove a password at the
password prompt screen that appears when you turn on the
computer. See “Changing a Power-On Password” on page 137 or
“Removing a Power-On Password” on page 138.
