Starting the computer by password

If you registered a password, start the computer by entering the password manually.

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

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.

Power-up modes

The computer has three power-up modes:

Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)

Standby (power remains on, maintaining the data in memory, but the CPU and all other devices effectively enter a 'sleep' mode)

Boot (does not save data in memory)

Refer also to the section Turning off the power in Chapter 3, Getting Started.
