Setting a Password
Follow these steps to set your password:
1. When you see "Enter New Password" in the Supervisor or User window, type the letter you
want to use using the keyboard or click it using the mouse. You can type up to six characters
using the keys listed in the window. The screen displays an asterisk for each character you
type. After typing the password, press Enter.
2. When you see "Confirm New Password", type your password again and press Enter. If the
password you type is different from your password, the screen displays the message "Enter
New Password". As you see the following message, press Enter.
Supervisor Password Installed
or
User Password Installed
3. When you exit the Setup program, save your new settings. When you turn on or reset your
computer or run Setup (depending on the setting in Password Check of the Advanced Setup
menu), you will see the password prompt.
NOTE
Be sure to remember the password you enter or write it down. If you cannot remember it, you will
not be able to access the computer the next time you turn it on or run SETUP. However, if you
forgot your password, there is a way to use your system again. See "Disabling a Forgotten
Password" for more information.
