Incorrect Password Entry
If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the Life- Book will resume normal operation. If no or an invalid password is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (suspend or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the LifeBook after a password failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password.
P O I N T
Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The super- visor password can override the user password.
PRECAUTIONS
Opening and Closing the Cover
Closing the cover automatically places the LifeBook into suspend mode. Opening the cover does not automati- cally place the LifeBook into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Suspend/Resume button.
Low Battery Operations
If your LifeBook has low battery, pushing the suspend/ resume button only turns on the Security Indicator. Your LifeBook does not unlock, the Security Indicator turns off after one minute. To resume normal operation, first attach a power supply to the LifeBook. Then you may unlock the LifeBook.

PANEL APPLICATION

To clear passwords, follow same procedure in SETTING PASSWORD CODES except this time, select REMOVE, enter current password then click Next. When asked to confirm select Yes.
