next time you start the computer your password will be in
effect.
15 Place your password service diskette in a safe place, away
from the computer.
CAUTION: Do not use your password service diskette for any
other purpose. If you try to access the diskette, you’ll receive
an error message and will have to reset your password and
create a new password service diskette.
Using the power-on password
Whenever you start or restart your computer with a power-on
(user-level) password in effect, the computer prompts you to enter
the password before it goes through its normal startup procedure.
The password operates regardless of whether the computer is
operating in Resume Mode.
When your computer prompts you to enter your password, type it
in and press
Enter
. If you enter the password correctly, the
computer continues with its normal startup procedure. If you enter
an incorrect password, the computer beeps. After three incorrect
attempts, the system turns off automatically.
If you’ve forgotten your password:
1 If your diskette drive is not installed in the SelectBay, connect
the external diskette drive or swap drives in the SelectBay. To
swap drives, see “Swapping SelectBay modules” on page 37.
2 Turn on the computer with Resume Mode turned off.
The system prompts you for your password.
