Removing a Password

If you have forgotten your password and you do not want to set a new one, there are two ways to remove the current password:

LI Disable the existing password

Ll Disable the password function.

To do either of these procedures, you must reset a jumper on the main system board.

You should disable the existing password if you want to be able to set a new password later without having to reset a jumper on the main system board again. See “Disabling an existing password” below for instructions.

If you disable the password function, you cannot set a new password unless you perform the steps to disable the existing password at that time. If you do not want to use a password anymore, follow the instructions under “Disabling the password function” below.

Disabling an existing password

If you do not know your power-on password and do not want to set a new one, follow these steps to disable the existing password:

1.Turn off the computer and follow the instructions under “Changing Jumper Settings” in Chapter 5 to enable the password skip function by setting jumper J2 to position 1-2.

2. Insert the Reference diskette into Drive A and turn on the computer. You do not see the key prompt ( C+rrn ).
