Using the Personal Code to Access the System

Once you set one or more personal codes on the system, you must enter one of these personal codes before the system can finish booting up.

After the system has been turned on, but before it boots, the Personal Code Security LED lights. Enter the personal code and press the Enter button.

When a valid personal code is entered, the LED goes out and the system finishes booting up.

An alarm sounds for one minute if there are three unsuccessful attempts at entering the personal code. It is still possible to enter the correct personal code while the alarm is sounding, but after the alarm stops, the system goes into a Suspend state.

You can attempt personal code entry again. See “Bringing the System Out of a Power- Saving Mode.”

Bringing the System Out of a Power-Saving Mode

If the system goes into a power-saving state after bootup, the Security LED remains off. In this state, the Personal Security Code utility goes into security mode. The utility requires the entry of a valid personal code before the system can come out of the power-saving state.

Note If you forget your password (personal code), contact NEC Computers Support Services for information about clearing it. See Chapter 11, “Getting Service and Support,” for contact information.
