Starting the computer using a password

If you have already registered a user password, there is one way to start

the computer:

Enter the password manually.

The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in

Hibernation mode or boot mode. It is not needed in Sleep mode and

Restart.

To enter a password manually, follow the steps as detailed below:

1. Turn on the power as described in the Getting Started section. The

following message will appear in the screen:

Password=

At this point, the function keys 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 times in a row, or if you don’t

enter the password within 1 minute, the computer shuts off. In this case,

some features that can power on the computer automatically (Wake-up on

LAN, Task Scheduler, etc) may not work. You must turn the computer back

on to retry password entry.
