Responding to Error Messages

If an error message appears on your monitor screen while the system is booting, make a note of the message. Refer to Appendix A, “Beep Codes and System Messages,” for an explanation of the message and suggestions for cor- recting any errors.

Disabling a Forgotten Password

If you forget your user or setup password, you will be unable to operate your system or change settings in the system setup program, respectively, until you disable the password. Disabling the password involves removing the computer cover and changing a jumper setting (twice) on the system board.

NOTE: You disable both passwords at the same time.
