Deleting a Power-on Password

To delete 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.

For example, if your password is 123, type:

1 2 3 /

3.

Press

Enter.

A happy face character appears and then the

computer loads MS-DOS.

The next time you turn on or reset the computer, it does not
request a password and loads MS-DOS immediately.

Note
You need to know the password in order to delete it using

this method. If you do not know the password, see “Pasword
Problems” in Appendix D.
