protection whatsoever and doesn’t want to give anybody

case, if passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set, the
passwords must first be cleared BEFORE removing the
application. To clear passwords, follow same procedure
in SETTING PASSWORD CODES except this time,

Next
.

word can override the user password.
Always power off the computer before
transporting and/or packaging it. After

status LED panel indicates power off
condition (i.e., no lights are illuminated).
It is possible that the unit may not auto-
matically go to power off or hibernate

since the air vents may be blocked or
restricted.
Removing the applications does not remove
the password. It simply removes the ability
