After you type the correct system password and press <Enter>, your system boots
and you can use the keyboard and/or mouse to operate your system as usual.
NOTE: If you have assigned a setup password (see Using the Setup Password Fea-
ture found later in this chapter), the system accepts your setup password as an
alternate system password.
If a wrong or incomplete system password is entered, the following message appears
on the screen:

If an incorrect or incomplete system password is entered again, the same message
appears on the screen.

The number of unsuccessful attempts made to enter the correct system password
can alert you to an unauthorized person attempting to use your system.
Even after your system is turned off and on, the previous message is displayed each
time an incorrect or incomplete system password is entered.
NOTE: You can use
Password Status
in conjunction with
System Password
and
Setup Password
to further protect your system from unauthorized changes. For
more information, see Password Status found earlier in this chapter.
