Changing or Deleting a Password
After establishing a power-on password or setup password, you
can change or delete that password only in the password prompt
window. To change the password, type the old password once and
the new password twice, separated by the password delimiter for
your keyboard, for example
old password/newpassword/newpassword
NOTE:
To delete your password, do not type a new password after
the password delimiter.
The character used for the password delimiter varies according to
the language of the keyboard. The following table lists the
password delimiter to use for each country keyboard:
Password Delimiters
Country Keyboard Symbol
Belgian =
Danish, German, Italian, Latin American,
Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish,
Swedish/Finnish, Swiss, Taiwanese
- (hyphen)
French !
French/Canadian é
Japanese, Korean, United Kingdom, United States /
NOTE: The password delimiter is the lower character on the key to the left
of the right Shift key on all keyboards except the Japanese. On the
Japanese keyboard, the password delimiter is the second key to the left
of the right Shift key.
