Epson 386/25 Note, Using Your Computer, Deleting a Power-onPassword

Next time you turn on or reset the computer, use the new password.

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 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 “Password Problems” in Appendix D.
