Power and Power-up Modes

Starting the computer by password

If you have already registered a password, there is a way to start the computer:

Enter the password manually.

The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.

To enter a password manually, follow these steps:

1.Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. The following message will appear in the LCD:

Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]

At this point, the hotkeys Fn + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function after you enter the password.

2.Enter the Password.

3.Press Enter.

If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter the password.
