Password Problems - Epson Endeavor L User Manual

Also, make sure your hard disk drive has been physically
formatted by the manufacturer. (All EPSON-supplied drives
are physically formatted at the factory.) If it has not been
physically formatted, use the format utility that came with the
drive to format it before you partition it or install the operating
system.
Note that a physical format is different from software-based
formatting commands, such as the MS-DOS FORMAT
command.
You have been using your hard disk drive successfully for
some time but notice a reduction in performance.
The data on the disk may have become fragmented. Back up all
your data and use a disk compaction utility to reorganize the
files on your disk.
If you cannot access data on your hard disk or you are seeing
read/ write errors, the disk may have a physical problem.
Contact your Authorized EPSON Servicer.

Password Problems

You have forgotten your password
Disable the password function by setting DIP switch 4 to Off.
(See Chapter 4 for instructions.) Turn on the computer, then
turn it off again. This disables the password option. Now
change DIP switch 4 to the On position and turn the computer
on again. Use SETUP to set a new password, if you want one.
(See Chapter 2.)
