Changing a Power-on Password

To change your power-on password, follow these steps:

1.

If you do not have a hard disk, insert your Startup diskette

in drive A.

2.

Turn on or reset the computer. At the key prompt, enter
your current power-on password followed by a forward slash.
After the slash, enter the new password you want to use. For

example, if your current password is

123

and you want to

change it to ABC, type:

123/ABC

Do not use characters requiring the

Shift

key, such as

$, @,

or

*, in your new password. The computer does not

recognize the

Shift

key when you use your password to

access the system.

The screen does not display what you type.

3.

Press

Enter.

A happy face character appears and then the

computer loads MS-DOS.
