7.If you do not have a hard disk, insert the Startup diskette in drive A. Turn on the computer.

If you set a new password or kept the same one, you see the Password : prompt. Enter the password to access your system. (See "Using the Password” in Chapter 3.)

If you deleted your password, you do not see the Password : prompt and can access your system immediately.

Note

Be sure to remember your new password or write it down and keep it in a safe place. If you forget the password you enter now, you may have to repeat the procedure above the next time you reboot your computer.

Keyboard Problems

If you are having trouble with the keyboard, check the following:

1.If the screen displays a keyboard error when you turn on or reset the computer, make sure the keyboard is securely connected to its port. See “Connecting the Keyboard” in Chapter 1 for instructions.

2.If the cursor keys do not work properly, the num lock function may be on. When num lock is on, the numeric/ arrow keys on the numeric keypad work only as numbers. Check to see if the Num Lock indicator in the upper right corner of the keyboard is lit; if it is, press the Num Lock key to turn off the function.

3.If nothing happens when you type on the keyboard, see “The Computer Does Not Respond,” above.
