Changing the Setup Password

CAUTION: You cannot change the computer configuration if you
forget your setup password. Record the password and put it in a
safe place.
Once you create a setup password, you can only change the
password after the computer has restarted and you are prompted to
enter the current setup password.
To change your password, type in the old password, then enter the
new password twice, typing the syntax for your computer
keyboard between the passwords. Refer to "Change/Delete
Password Symbols" later in this chapter for the correct syntax.
For example, if you have a Belgian keyboard, type the following:
current password=new password=new password
The new password takes effect the next time you turn on your
computer.
