To establish your power-on password in Windows 95 or
Windows NT:
1. Click the Computer Security tab in Passwords Properties.
2. Click the Set button.
3. Enter your new password twice, then click OK.
IMPORTANT:
Type carefully, because the password is not
displayed as you type. The password is not case sensitive.
However, you must use the same keys each time you enter the
password. For example, the numbers at the top of the
keyboard are not recognized as being the same as the numbers
in the embedded numeric keypad.
You may enter up to seven alphanumeric characters for the
password. The next time you restart the computer, or resume from
Hibernation, Suspend, or QuickLock/QuickBlank, you will be
prompted to enter your power-on password.
Entering the Power-On Password
1. Turn on or restart the computer.
2. At the password prompt, type your power-on password.
If you enter the password incorrectly, an incorrect password
prompt displays. Try again to enter the password. After three
unsuccessful attempts, you must turn the computer off and back
on again before you can continue.
NOTE:
The password is not case sensitive. However, you must use
the same keys each time you enter the password. For example, the
numbers at the top of the keyboard are not recognized as being the
same as the numbers in the embedded numeric keypad.
