Power-On Password: Setting a power-on password helps
protect information stored in your system. When you select this
object, a screen with 8 empty boxes appears. Type your
password in these boxes. You can use any combination of up
to eight characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your password. As
you type a character, a key appears in the box. Press Enter
when you are finished; you will be required to type the
password again for verification. If you make a mistake, select
the Cancel object and start again.
If you already had set a power-on password and wanted to
remove it, select the following object.
Note: If you
forget
your password, you will have to remove the
battery for at least 30 seconds to disable the password.
See “Battery” on page 7-25.
A password can be set only after system power has been
turned off and then on again. You cannot set a password after
using the Ctrl+Alt+Del combination (or
warm boot
) to restart
the system.
Privileged-Access Password: The privileged-access
password protects against the unauthorized starting of the
system programs. Follow the same procedure described for
the power-on password.
As with the power-on password, you must turn system power
off and then on again before setting a privileged-access
password.
