Entering a Password
Whether the computer is configured with a
System or Setup password, you enter the
password in the same way. When you turn on
your system (for the System password) or
access Setup (for the Setup password), you see
this prompt:
Enter password:
Type the correct password and press Enter. To
protect your password, the screen does not
display the characters you type,
If you type the password incorrectly, the
computer repeats the password prompt.
Try typing the password again. The computer
allows you three tries to enter it correctly. If
you don’t enter a System password correctly,
the system locks up. Turn off the computer,
wait 30 seconds, and try again. If you don’t
enter a Setup password correctly, the
computer loads the operating system without
letting you access Setup. See “Using Password
Security” in Chapter 6 for more information.
