NEC L320 Personal Computer User Manual


 
4-14 Using the Operating System and Utilities
Using the Personal Code to Access the System
Once you set one or more personal codes on the system, you must enter one of these
personal codes before the system can finish booting up.
After the system has been turned on, but before it boots, the Personal Code Security
LED lights. Enter the personal code and press the
Enter
button.
When a valid personal code is entered, the LED goes out and the system finishes
booting up.
An alarm sounds for one minute if there are three unsuccessful attempts at entering the
personal code. It is still possible to enter the correct personal code while the alarm is
sounding, but after the alarm stops, the system goes into a Suspend state.
You can attempt personal code entry again. See Bringing the System Out of a Power-
Saving Mode.
Bringing the System Out of a Power-Saving Mode
If the system goes into a power-saving state after bootup, the Security LED remains
off. In this state, the Personal Security Code utility goes into security mode. The utility
requires the entry of a valid personal code before the system can come out of the
power-saving state.
Note
If you forget your password (personal code), contact NEC Computers Support
Services for information about clearing it. See Chapter 11, Getting Service and
Support,” for contact information.
