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.
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:
S Password=
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press Enter.
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 onscreen keyboard using the tablet
pen.
