Setting a Power-on Password
When a power-on password is set,
you must enter a password each time you start the system.
If you forget the power-on password,
and an administrator password has been set,
use the administrator password at the power-on prompt,
then start the Configuration/Setup utility program and change
the power-on password.
If no administrator password has been set,
you must remove the battery before you can set a new password.

- Select Power-on Password on the System Security
menu, then press Enter.

Enter Power-on password data field.
- Verify that you typed the correct password.
If you did not type the correct password, press Esc,
and type the correct password.
- Repeat steps 2 through 3
for the Enter Power-on Password Again data field.
- Select Set or Change Power-on Password
to save the new password.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z,
a-z, and 0-9) for the power-on password.
Keep a record of the password in a secure place.
