E System Board Jumpers
The Power-On Password feature is enabled or disabled by
moving the plug on the E6 jumper located on the system board.
The E6 jumper has three pins. To enable the Power-On
Password, move the plug to pins 5 and 6. To clear or disable
the Power-On Password, move the plug to pins 6 and 7. The
system default has the Power-On Password enabled.
To set a new password, move the E6 jumper back to pins 5 and 6,
restart the computer, and reestablish your password through
Security Management.
Locating the E6 Jumper on the System Board
The computer's configuration memory (CMOS) may
occasionally be corrupted by static electricity. This happens
very rarely. When it does occur, it is usually due to software or
hardware that is not executing accurately or by adding or
removing expansion boards to or from the computer. If the
computer's configuration memory becomes corrupted, it is
necessary to clear the configuration memory.
Be sure your computer is powered off before beginning this
procedure.
