You have forgotten the current power-on password.
If you have forgotten your power-on password and cannot use
your computer, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer, remove the system covers, and clear
the password by moving the main system board jumper
E0390 from position 2-3 to position 1-2. See Chapter 5 for
instructions on removing the covers and Chapter 6 for
instructions on changing the jumper setting.
2. Replace the computer's cover. (See Chapter 5.)
3. If you do not have a hard disk, insert a bootable diskette in
drive A. Turn on the computer and allow it to load the
operating system.
4. Then turn off the computer, remove the covers, and enable
the password function by moving main system board
jumper E0390 from position 1-2 to position 2-3.
5. Replace the computer's covers.
If you do not want to set a new password, you do not need
to do anything else. (When you turn on your computer, you
will not see the Enter password prompt.)
If you want to set a new password, go to step 6.
6. If you ran the SETUP program to configure your computer
the last time, go to step 7. If you ran the EISA Configuration
utility, go to step 8.
7. Turn on your computer. When you see the prompt, press
to set a new power-on password using the SETUP program.
8. Insert the Reference diskette in drive A and turn on the
computer. Follow the instructions in Chapter 4 to set a new
power-on password using the EISA System Utilities.
