Entering the Setup Password After you establish the setup password, you must enter it each time you want to change the computer configuration. 1. Turn on or restart the computer. 2. When the cursor moves to the upper right corner of the screen, press F10. 3. Enter your setup password at the password prompt. 4. Press Enter. NOTE: You can use the setup password for both setup and poweron passwords. Changing the Setup Password Once your setup password has been established, you can change it using your computer keyboard. However, you can only change the password after the computer has been restarted and you are prompted to enter the current setup password. CAUTION: You cannot change the computer configuration if you forget your setup password. Record the password and put it in a safe place. Each computer keyboard is designed to meet specific country requirements. The syntax for changing the password varies according to the keyboard purchased with your computer. When you wish to change or delete your password, you may have to substitute another key character for the slash mark (/). To use the character that is appropriate for your keyboard, refer to the table under "Changing the Power-On Password." Security Features 13-11
