Using Setup 3-9
Once you set a password, you must enter it before you can enter Setup; this
feature allows only an authorized user to change system parameters. In ad-
dition, you can choose to require the password be entered each time you start
the system and each time the system resumes from Suspend mode.
A Keyboard Lock feature lets you lock your keyboard when you are away
from your NEC Versa 6000. This feature works only if you set a password
in Setup.
