Setting a system password
Note the following before you define a system password:
• The maximum length of password contains 8 alphanumeric characters—A - Z, 0 - 9, and ‘;’
(for French keyboard).
• System passwords are case-insensitive.
• When you are prompted to enter a password, you have three tries before the system halts. Do not forget
your password. If you forget your password, you may have to return your computer to your dealer to reset
it.
