You should disable the existing password if you want to be able
to set a new password later without having to reset a jumper
again. See “Disabling an existing password,” below, for
instructions.
If you disable the password function, you cannot set a new
password unless you perform the steps to disable the existing
password at that time. If you do not want to use a password
anymore, follow the instructions under “Disabling the password
function” below.
Disabling an existing password
If you do not know your power-on password and do not want to
set a new one, follow these steps to disable the existing
password:
1. Turn off the computer and follow the instructions under
“Changing the Jumper Settings” in Chapter 5 to disable the
password function by setting jumper J1 to position B.
2. Insert the Reference diskette in drive A and turn on the
computer. You do not see the key prompt.
3. When the Operation Menu appears, highlight Setup
and press Enter. Then see “Setting the Power-on Password”
in Chapter 2 and follow the instructions as if you are going
to enter a new password. However, when you see the
password prompt, press
Enter immediately. This clears out
the existing password.
Make sure you save the password setting and that you
highlight
** EXIT AND SAVE ** when you leave
the Setup program.
4. Remove the Reference diskette, turn off the computer, and
follow the instructions under “Changing the Jumper
Settings” in Chapter 5 to enable the password function by
setting jumper J1 to position A.
