When a password service disk is made, the computer overwrites all the
data on the diskette with password data. Make sure the diskette you insert
does not contain any data you want to keep.
If your computer is protected by the Power on Password, when you turn
the power on the following message appears:
password =
If the computer boots by the Auto Power On function and Hibernation is
on, the computer will start with the instant security function enabled. The
message above is not displayed.
In either case you have to enter the password. If you enter an invalid
password three times in succession, the computer will shut down. You
must turn the power back on to retry password entry.
