Power-On Password
Whenever you start or restart your computer with a power-on
password in effect, the computer prompts you to enter the pass-
word before it goes through its normal startup procedure. The
power-on password operates whether or not 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 com-
puter continues with its normal startup procedure. If you enter an
incorrect password, the computer beeps. After three incorrect
attempts, the beep sounds repeatedly and turns off automatically.
If you’ve forgotten your password, follow these steps:
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 Drives in the
SelectBay” on page 104.
2 Turn the computer on with Resume Mode turned off.
The system prompts you for your password.
3 Insert the write-enabled password service diskette into the
diskette drive and press
Enter
.
The system prompts you, “
Set Password Again (Y/N)?
”
The password service diskette is not reusable. Once you use
it, you must create a new diskette, even if you set the same
password.
4 To enter TSETUP and reset your password, press
Y
. Follow
the instructions in “Password Retrieval” on page 232 to
reset your password.
To remove your password, press

registered.
