1.Turn off the computer’s power.

2.Connect the diskette drive to a USB port on the computer.

3.Set a diskette’s write-protect tab to the write enable position and insert the diskette in the drive.

NOTE: All data on the diskette will be destroyed.

4.Turn on the computer’s power. Password= will be displayed on the LCD.

5.Enter the password.

6.Press the Tab key.

Insert FD Ready (Y/N) will be displayed on the LCD.

7.Press Y.

Remove FD press key will be displayed on the LCD.

8.Remove the diskette and press any key.Supervisor password
