To set a docking password
Password security protects access to your OmniBook. If you use password security,
you must enter the password at certain times (defined in Password Options). This is
where you specify a docking password.
This symbol means a password has locked access to the system. (If you have a
video card installed, this symbol does not appear, but the screen goes blank and the
computer beeps.) Type the password to gain access. Be sure you record your
password in a safe place. To restore operation if you forget your password, you’ll
have to call Hewlett-Packard at the number in the Service and Support booklet or
select the OmniBook Support icon in the online OmniBook Library group.
1. Exit Windows, then reboot the OmniBook.
2. When you see the following message:
Press
immediately press
F2
to open the System Configuration Utility. The mouse does
not work in this environment.
3. Press
ALT+S
to open the System menu, then select Passwords.
4. Under Password options, select Undock.
This enforces that you enter the password in order to undock the OmniBook
from a docking system.
