Entering a setup password

At the Setup password prompt, type your setup password (using the same kind of keys you used to set the password), and then press enter. After 3 unsuccessful attempts to enter the setup password, you must restart the computer and try again.

Using a power-on password

The Computer Setup power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the computer. After this password is set, it must be entered each time the computer is turned on.

Note the following characteristics of a power-on password:

●It is masked as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.

●It must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a power-on password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if you enter it thereafter with embedded numeric keypad number keys.

●It can include any combination of up to 32 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.
