Note

You must delete the User password before SETUP will

allow you to access the Supervisor password.

If you have forgotten your password(s), see “Password
Problems” in Chapter 6.

Using the Diskette Access Option

The Diskette Access option allows you to restrict access to

your diskette drives based on the password levels you have

defined. This prevents unauthorized users from accessing the

drives and possibly introducing a virus into your system. You
can restrict access only if passwords are enabled and you have
e n a b l e d t h e P a s s w o r d o n b o o t o p t i o n .

If you select Supervisor for this option you can access the
diskette drives only if you enter the Supervisor password
during system startup. Someone who starts the system with a

User password, however, will see an error message when he or

she tries to access the diskette drive. If you select User for the
Diskette Access option, you can access the diskette drives

whether you enter the Supervisor or User password during

startup.

Note

To use passwords for diskette drive access, you must enable

the Password on boot option. If you select a password

boot option disabled, you see an error message whenever

you try to access your diskette drive.
