1.1.2 Power-On Password
A power-on password denies access to the system when the system is
powered-on. To service a system with an active and unknown power-on
password, power-off the system and, do one of the following depending on
which battery and speaker assembly is installed:
If the assembly has pins, short pins 2 and 3 together
If the assembly has no pins, insert a meter lead into connector 1 and
short the other end of the lead to frame ground.
With the assembly shorted, power-on the system. This deactivates the
power-on password. Remove the short after the POST is finished.
To reactivate the power-on password, the user must start the system with
the Reference Diskette in drive A, select the Set features option, and
follow the instructions.
