Using an instant password
An instant password secures your system with a single keystroke.
Use this feature when you need to leave your desk for a few
minutes and don’t want to turn off the computer.
To use an instant password, press
Fn, then press F1. This freezes the
keyboard and AccuPoint II and blanks the screen. An instant
password has no effect on an optional serial mouse or trackball.
1 To unlock your system, do one of the following:

❖ If you have registered a user password, press
Enter. Type
your password then press
Enter.
If you enter the password correctly, the computer returns to
where it was when you enabled the instant password.
