Starting the computer by password
If you have already registered a password, there is one way to start the
computer:
■ Enter the password manually.
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:
Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press Enter.
Power-up modes
The computer has three power-up modes:
■ Boot: Computer shuts down without saving data. Always save your
work before you turn the computer off in boot mode.
■ Hibernation: Data in memory is saved to the hard disk.
■ Sleep: Data is maintained in the computer’s main memory.
Windows utilities
You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and
Hibernation Mode within the Power Options. To access it, Start Control
Panel System and Security Power Options.
Hot keys
You can use the FN + F3 hot key to enter Sleep Mode or FN + F4 to enter
Hibernation Mode - please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard for further
details.
The password is necessary if the computer was shut down in boot mode
and Hibernation mode, not in Sleep mode.
If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the
computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter
the password.
