3/8 APRICOT LS/VS340 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
Date
The date is in the usual Day/Month/Year format. The procedure for
altering the date is the same as for altering the time.
Once the correct date is set you should not need to set it again. The
computer accounts for leap years automatically.
System Security
This is to allow you to set, change or delete passwords for either
general or administrator use.
The password options are intended for computers that lack more
sophisticated security systems. You should
not
use these options on
an Apricot LS340 computer fitted with an Apricot LS Security
Card.
Power-on Password
This option allows you to set a password that is required every time
the computer is turned on or rebooted. Only people who know the
password will be able to use the computer. The password can be up
to seven characters long.
To define a power-on password:
1. In the Power-on Password dialog, type the password in the
Enter Power-on Password box, then press the
DOWN ARROW
key.
To preserve confidentiality, the password is not displayed as
you type it.
2. Type the password once more in the Enter Power-on Password
Again box.
3. If you want the computer to ask for the power-on password,
ensure that Password Prompt is set to
On
. If this option is set
to
Off
, the computer will still require the password but will
not
ask for it.
4. Choose the Change Power-on Password option.
