Setting the Power-on Password

Setting a power-on password lets you control who can use your
system. However, you do not need to set a power-on password

to use the Equity 386SX.

If you set a power-on password, you must enter it the next time
you turn on or reset your computer. If you cannot enter it
correctly, the computer locks up and does not respond to your
keyboard entries. Therefore, if you set a power-on password, be

sure to remember it or write it down and keep it in a safe place.
