Starting the computer by password
If you have already registered a 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 boot
mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3,
following message will appear in the LCD:
Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]
At this point, the hotkeys Fn + F1 to F9 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 consecutive times, the
computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter
the password.

Power-up modes

The computer has three power-up modes:
■
Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)
■ Sleep (power remains on, maintaining the data in memory, but the CPU
and all other devices effectively enter a 'sleep' mode)
■
Boot (does not save data in memory)
