When a password service disk is made, the computer overwrites all the

data on the diskette with password data. Make sure the diskette you insert

does not contain any data you want to keep.

If your computer is protected by the Power on Password, when you turn

the power on the following message appears:
password =
If the computer boots by the Auto Power On function and Resume is on,

the computer will start with the instant security function enabled. The

message above is not displayed.
In either case you have to enter the password. If you enter an invalid

password three times in succession, the computer will shut down. You

must turn the power back on to retry password entry.
