Logging On

Logging on means identifying yourself to the computer. You must identify yourself as an authorized user by typing your logon identity (username and account) and a password (if any). If you do not have a logon identity, ask your system administrator to give you one.

Once you log on, you begin communication with the HP e3000 computer and can start working.

As a security precaution, passwords are not displayed on the screen as you type them.
