Set a Keyboard Password
Setting a keyboard password lets you lock the keyboard without
turning the computer off. To set a keyboard password, you must first
install the keyboard program from the Reference Diskette onto the
fixed disk or diskette that contains your disk operating system (DOS).
Installing the keyboard password program:
Start the backup copy of the Reference Diskette (see page 14). Go to
the Main Menu and select "Set features," then "Set passwords."
Then select "Set keyboard password" and follow the instructions on
the screen. After installing the keyboard program, continue with the
following.
Setting and using a keyboard password:
Go to the DOS prompt (usually "A>" or "C> "), then:
To lock the keyboard, type KP and press Enter. The keyboard is
locked when you hear a beep.
To unlock the keyboard, type your keyboard password and press
Enter. The keyboard is unlocked when you hear a beep. (If the
keyboard remains locked, type the power-on password that was
active when you turned on the computer, then press Enter to
unlock the keyboard.)
To change the keyboard password, type KPlc and press Enter.
To remove the keyboard password, turn off the computer.
