To change your setup password, do the following:

1. Save your work, restart your computer, then press

F10 as soon

as the cursor moves to the top-right corner of the screen.

2. The password prompt is displayed.

3. Enter your current password, then enter the new password

twice, typing the appropriate syntax for your computer
keyboard between the passwords. For example, if you have a
Belgian keyboard, you will type the following:

current password=new password=new password

IMPORTANT:

Type carefully. For security reasons, the characters

you type do not appear on the screen.

The new password takes effect the next time you turn on the
computer.
