Using
a Power-on Password
If you set a power-on password when you ran the System
Configuration program, you must enter it every time you turn
on the computer. Follow these steps to enter your password:
1. When you turn on the computer, you see the following
prompt:
Enter password:
2. Type your password. The screen does not display the
characters you type. Then press [Enter.
After you enter the correct password, you see Password OK
.
Then the computer loads your operating system.
Note
If you turned on network server mode and booted your
computer from a hard disk, you use a different procedure to
enter your password. See “Using a Password in Network
Server Mode,” below.
If you do not enter the correct password, you see the message
Password is incorrect and another prompt to enter the
password. You have two more chances to enter the correct
password; try typing it again.
If you do not enter the correct password at the third prompt,
the screen displays the following message:
System halted! Reset your system.
The system locks the keyboard and you cannot use your
computer. Press RESET and try to enter the correct password
again.
