Setting the Power-on Password
A power-on password is a feature that lets you control who can
access your system. However, you do not need to set a power-on
password to use your computer. If you do not want to set a
password, skip this section.
Once you set a power-on password, you must enter it at the key
prompt
(WrrJ
every time you turn on your computer or press
RESET.
If you cannot enter it correctly, the computer does not
respond to your keyboard entries. Therefore, if you set a power-
on password, be sure to remember it or write it down and keep it
in a safe place.
If you want to use your computer as a network server, you can
set your password to operate in network server mode. (See
“Using Your Computer as a Network Server” in Chapter 4 for
more information.)
