Starting the computer by password
If you registered a password, there are two ways to start the computer:
❑ Insert a password token before you turn on the computer. The computer will
start normally, without displaying a password prompt.
❑ Enter the password manually.
NOTE: The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in
boot mode. It is not needed in Hibernation or Standby mode.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. The following
message will appear in the LCD:
Password=
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press Enter.
NOTE: If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the
computer shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to
retry password entry.
Tablet mode
Enter your password by tapping the on-screen keyboard using the tablet pen.
