Acer 4000M Laptop User Manual


 
Password
If you choose to assign a password, type up to 19
alphanumeric characters (including spaces) for the
password you want to use. To protect the secrecy of the
password you type, the characters are not displayed;
asterisks are displayed. Carefully memorize your password,
and record it in a secure place away from where you store
or use your computer.
If you change your mind and decide to delete the password
(before exiting the Setup menu), press Del until all
asterisks are erased.
c
Caution: Once you assign a password, you have to use it
every time you want to run the application to which
the password is assigned. This caution is particularly
pertinent if you assign a password to the Exit to DOS
function (the Exit Password — F10 — key choice on
the setup menu). If you forget the password for this func-
tion, you cannot get to the
MS-DOS prompt or the Change
Menu screen.
Case is important in your password; to be accepted, a
password must be typed exactly the way you entered it
during setup. For example, if your password is all
uppercase letters, you must type it that way to gain access
to your program.
Use Color Palette?
If you have used the RPAL utility (see instructions elsewhere
in this manual) to create individual color or gray-shades
settings for each of your applications and stored them in
data files, select Y(es) at the Use color palette? prompt and
press ENTER.
