Setting the Power-on Password

A power-on password is an optional feature that lets you

control who can access your system. If you do not want to set a

password, skip this section.

Once you set a power-on password, you must enter it at the

key prompt every time you turn on or reset your

computer. If you do not enter it correctly, you cannot access

your system.

If you want to use your computer as a network server, you can

set your password to operate in network server mode. (See

“Using Your Computer as a Network Server” in Chapter 4 for

more information.)

Follow these steps to set a power-on password and turn on

network server mode (if necessary):

1. At the main Setup menu, highlight Password. This

submenu appears:

Power-on password

Network server mode OFF

The cursor block moves to Power-on
