Passwords
As many as three passwords may be needed for any
ThinkPad computers.The power-on password (POP), the
hard disk password (HDP), and the supervisor password
(PAP).
When the power-on password (POP), the hard disk
password (HDP), or the supervisor password (PAP) is
used, the following situations may occur:
If the POP is the same as the HDP
, the POP
prompt appears, but the HDP prompt does not
appear.
If the POP is not the same as the HDP
, both
prompts appear.
The PAP and the HDP:
If the PAP is used,the HDP is enabled automatically,
but no HDP prompt appears.The HDP is set the
same as the PAP.
If a ThinkPad computer has an extra bay, it can support
more than two HDPs.
If the
POP
is the same as one of the
HDPs
(HDP-1
or HDP-2), a POP prompt appears.The passwords
are different.
If the
POP
is not the same as either of the
HDPs
(HDP-1 or HDP-2), both prompts appear.
If the
PAP
is used, the
HDP-1
or the
HDP-2
is
automatically enabled, but the HDP prompt does not
appear.The HDP-1 or the HDP-2 are then set to the
same password as the PAP.
