To access the computer the next time you turn it on or reset it, enter the new power-on 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 power-on password followed by a forward slash. For example, if your password is 123, type:

12 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

this method. If you do not know the password, see “Pasword Problems” in Appendix D.
