Booting your system with the PSWD jumper plug removed erases the existing
password(s).
NOTE: Before you assign a new system and/or setup password, you must
replace the PSWD jumper plug.
Booting with the PSWD jumper installed reenables the password feature. When
you enter the System Setup program, both password options appear as Not
Enabled, meaning that the password feature is enabled but that no password has
been assigned.
To assign a new system password, see " Assigning a System Password" found
earlier in this chapter. To assign a new setup password, see "Assigning a Setup
Password" found earlier in this chapter.
If an error message appears on your monitor screen while the system is booting,
make note of the message. Then, before entering the System Setup program, refer to
your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for an explanation of the message and
suggestions for correcting any errors. However, it is normal to receive an error mes-
sage the first time you boot the system after a memory upgrade. In that case, you do
not need to refer to the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide ; instead, refer to the
instructions in " Adding Memory" in Chapter 6 of this guide.
If you are given an option of pressing either <F1> to continue or <F2> to run the Sys-
tem Setup program, press the <F2> key.
