You will be prompted to enter your setup password the next time
you try to change the computer configuration using Computer
Setup.
Entering the Setup Password
After you establish the setup password, you must enter it each
time you want to change the computer configuration.
1. Turn on or restart the computer.
2. When the cursor moves to the upper-right corner of the
screen, press F10.
3. Enter your setup password at the password prompt.
4. Press Enter.
NOTE: You can use the setup password for both setup and power-
on passwords.
Changing the Setup Password
Once your setup password has been established, you can change it
using your computer keyboard only after restarting the computer.
CAUTION: You cannot change the computer configuration if you
forget your setup password. Record the password and put it in a safe
place.
Each computer keyboard is designed to meet specific country
requirements. The syntax for changing the password varies
according to the keyboard purchased with your computer. To use
the character that is appropriate for your keyboard, refer to the
table under “Changing the Power-On Password.”
To change your setup password, do the following:
1. Save your work, restart your computer, then press F10 as soon
as the cursor moves to the top-right corner of the screen.
2. The password prompt is displayed.
3. Enter your current password, then enter the new password
twice, typing the appropriate syntax for your computer
keyboard between the passwords. For example, if you have a
Belgian keyboard, you will type the following:
current password=new password=new password
IMPORTANT: Type carefully. For security reasons, the
characters you type do not appear on the screen.
