To reset the computer, the operating system must be either on the hard disk or on a diskette in drive A; so if you do not have a hard disk, insert the system diskette in drive A.

There are two ways to reset the computer:

Ll If you are using MS-DOS, hold down m and [ and press the [Delete] key. The screen goes blank for a moment and then the computer reloads MS-DOS. If it doesn’t, try the next method.

tl Press the RESET button on the front panel. This method works even when the computer does not respond to your keyboard entries.

If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you probably need to turn it off and on again. Remove any diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off the computer and wait five seconds. If you do not have a hard disk, insert the system diskette in drive A. Then turn on the computer.

1.If you do not have a hard disk, insert your system diskette in drive A.

2.Turn on or reset the computer. You see this key prompt:

3.At the key prompt, type your power-on password. The key turns when you type a character, but the screen does not display the characters you type. Then press m.
