If you registered a password, there are two ways to start the computer:

■Insert a password token before you turn on the computer. The computer will start normally, without displaying a password prompt.

The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot mode. It is not needed 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:

2.Enter the Password.

3.Press Enter.

If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry password entry.
