Using a Password in Network Server Mode
When you turn on or reset the computer, it loads MS-DOS and
you see either the MS-DOS command prompt or the first screen
displayed by your networking software. You do not see the key
prompt ( ) even though the computer is now waiting for you
to enter the correct password.
Follow these steps to enter your password:
1. Turn on or reset your computer.
2. Type your password and press Enter. The screen does not
display what you type.
Now you should be able to use your computer as desired. Press a
key such as Enter to see if the keyboard accepts your command.
If you entered an incorrect password, the computer does not
respond. Type the correct password, press Enter, and try using
the computer again.
Note
You cannot change or delete a power-on password and remain
in network server mode. You must run Setup on the
Reference diskette to turn off network server mode first. See
Chapter 2 for instructions. Then you can change or delete the
password by following the instructions in Chapter 3.
If you forget the power-on password, see “Password Problems”
in Appendix D.
