Key FD
After you set a password, you can create a Key FD (diskette). If you forget
the user password, the Key FD lets you bypass the password function.
It is a good idea to create more than one Key FD in case a Key FD is
damaged or lost.
To create a Key FD follow the steps below.
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.
All data on the diskette will be destroyed.
4. Turn on the computer's power.
