Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a row will
cause the keyboard and mouse to be locked out and
the warning [System Disabled] to be displayed.
If this happens restart the computer by turning off
and on the power with the power switch and use the
correct password on reboot.
If you make an error when re-entering the password
a [Warning] will be displayed on the screen. To try
again press the Enter key and then retype the pass-
word. Press the Esc key to abort the password setting
process.
If the Power Management Security is Enabled and the
Password on Boot is Disabled you will not have to
type your password upon resuming the system from
the Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes. Power Manage-
ment Security will work only if Password boot is
enabled.
Boot sector protection must be set to [Normal] to
install or upgrade an operating system.
