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 MS-DOS Startup
diskette in drive A.
2. Turn on the computer or press RESET. At the key prompt,
enter your current 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 the computer or press RESET, 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 “Password
Problems” in Appendix A.
