Entering passwords

You can’t see your password as you enter it, so be careful. Be sure Caps Lock and Option Lock are not on unless you need them. For information on how to enter characters, see Entering lowercase and uppercase letters and Entering numbers, punctuation, and symbols.

Entering other symbols and accented characters

You can enter symbols and accented characters that don't appear on the keys by using the alternate characters list.

TIP The alternate characters are grouped according to their similarity to the corresponding key. For example, the alternate character available for the R key is ®, and for the T key is ™. If you press the wrong key, press Backspace to return to the full list of alternate characters. You can then press another key.

1Press Alt to display the alternate character list.

2Narrow the list by pressing the key that corresponds to the character you want. For example, to enter an é, press e. See the table below for a list of corresponding characters.

3Press Up or Down to highlight the desired character.

4Press Center to insert the character.

TIP Some symbols, such as an underscore (_), do not correspond to a letter key. To enter these symbols, press Alt by itself and then select the symbol from the list.
