Hardware Setup. This is useful if more than one person
uses the computer.
A single user password supports the instant and power-on
password functions.
When setting up the various passwords, keep the following in
mind:
❖The user password can be set up under the supervisor
password.
❖The supervisor password must be set before the user
password, or the user password must be deleted and then
re-entered after the supervisor password is set.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When you delete the supervisor password,
the user password is also deleted.
Using an instant password
An instant password secures your system with a single
keystroke. Use this feature when you leave your desk for a
few minutes and do not want to turn off the computer.
To use an instant password, press Fn, then press F1. This
freezes the keyboard and TouchPad, and blanks the screen.
An instant password has no effect on an optional USB mouse
or trackball.
To unlock your system, press any key or the TouchPad and
the Windows Logon screen appears. Select your user name
and enter your password, if any.
