Note

If you do not know the correct password, see “Password

Problems” in Appendix D,

Changing a Power-on Password

To change 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. After the slash, enter the new password you want to use. For example, if your current password is 123 and you want to change it to ABC, type:

123/ABC

Do not use characters requiring the Shift key, such as

$, @, or *, in your new password. The computer does not recognize the Shift key when you use your password to access the system.

The screen does not display what you type.

3.Press Enter. A happy face character appears and then the computer loads MS-DOS.
