Setting the Power-on Password
A power-on password is a feature that lets you control who can
use your computer. 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
(
Wrn
)
every time you turn on or reset your computer.
If you cannot enter it correctly, the computer locks up and 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 after you
enter the password. (See “Using Your Computer as a Network
Server” in Chapter 4 for more information.)
Follow these steps to set a power-on password and turn on
network server mode (if necessary):

submenu appears:
