Entering the Password

To enter the password, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. When the Power-On password screen appears on the monitor, enter the
current password. For security, the characters you type do not appear
on the screen.
3. If you enter the power-on password incorrectly, the message "Password
Invalid" is displayed. Try again. After three unsuccessful tries, you
must turn the computer off and on again before you can continue.
The Power-On password entry screen appears only when the computer
is turned on. When you reset the computer using Ctrl+Alt+Del, you do
not have to enter the password. The new password takes effect the next
time you turn on the computer.
