Related service information A total progress bar allows you to audit this process, which will take about 8 minutes. The final recovery disc may be safely removed during this time, but may also be left in the optical drive since it is not bootable. 7. You will then be prompted to restart the computer. Select Yes. A warning window appears, giving you one last chance to stop the restart, but disappears automatically after about 5 seconds. File processing continues in DOS full screen mode for about two minutes and the computer restarts to the Windows® desktop. No user intervention is required (and should be avoided) after this point. 8. Windows setup continues on the desktop and DOS window for IBM system setup, with progress measured by a Factory Preinstallation window on the right side of the screen. The processes are updating installed softwares. A warning that antivirus software is not installed appears repeatedly in the system tray, but this should be ignored. The entire process at desktop takes about 25 minutes. 9. Then the computer restarts, does some more DOS full screen processing, and restarts again to a Windows desktop where factory preinstallation continues for about 12 more minutes, another restart to a DOS screen and then back to the Windows splash screen and back to the desktop for more preinstallation. This lasts about 10 more minutes and the computer restarts to do NTFS conversion and then restarts to the OOBE (Out of Box Experience) environment. Passwords As many as three passwords may be needed for any ThinkPad computer: the power-on password (POP), the hard-disk password (HDP), and the supervisor password (SVP). If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it appears on the screen whenever the computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the password is entered. Exception: If only an SVP is installed, the password prompt does not appear when the operating system is booted. Power-on password: A power-on password (POP) protects the system from being powered on by an unauthorized person. The password must be entered before an operating system can be booted. Hard-disk password: There are two hard-disk passwords (HDPs): v User HDP-for the user v Master HDP-for the system administrator, who can use it to get access to the hard disk even if the user has changed the user HDP Note: There are two modes for the HDP: User only and Master + User. The Master + User mode requires two HDPs; the system administrator enters both in the same operation. The system administrator then provides the user HDP to the system user. 22 MT 6363, 6364, 6365, 6366, 6367, 6368, 7762, 7763, 7764, 7767, 7768, and 7769

A
total
progress
bar
allows
you
to
audit
this
process,
which
will
take
about
8
minutes.
The
final
recovery
disc
may
be
safely
removed
during
this
time,
but
may
also
be
left
in
the
optical
drive
since
it
is
not
bootable.
7.
You
will
then
be
prompted
to
restart
the
computer.
Select
Yes
.
A
warning
window
appears,
giving
you
one
last
chance
to
stop
the

but
disappears
automatically
after
about
5
seconds.
File
processing
continues
in
DOS

mode
for
about
two
minutes
and
the
computer
restarts
to
the
Windows
®
desktop.
No
user
intervention
is
required
(and
should
be
avoided)
after
this
point.
8.
Windows
setup
continues
on
the
desktop
and
DOS
window
for
IBM
system
setup,
with
progress
measured
by
a
Factory
Preinstallation
window
on
the
right
side

the
screen.
The
processes
are
updating
installed
softwares.
A
warning
that
antivirus

and
restarts
again
to
a
Windows
desktop
where
factory
preinstallation
continues

another
restart
to
a
DOS
screen
and
then
back

the
desktop
for
more
preinstallation.
This
lasts
about

Passwords
As
many
as
three
passwords
may
be
needed
for
any
ThinkPad
computer:
the
power-on
password
(POP),
the
hard-disk
password
(HDP),
and
the
supervisor
password
(SVP).
If
any
of
these
passwords
has
been
set,
a
prompt
for
it
appears
on
the
screen
whenever
the
computer
is
turned
on.
The
computer
does
not
start
until
the
password
is
entered.
Exception:
If
only
an
SVP
is
installed,
the
password
prompt
does
not
appear
when
the
operating
system
is
booted.
Power-on
password:
A
power-on
password
(POP)
protects
the
system
from
being
powered
on
by
an
unauthorized
person.
The
password
must
be
entered
before
an
operating
system
can
be
booted.
Hard-disk
password:
There
are
two
hard-disk
passwords
(HDPs):
v
User
HDP—for
the
user
v
Master
HDP—for
the
system
administrator,
who
can
use
it
to
get
access
to
the
hard
disk
even
if
the
user
has
changed
the
user
HDP
Note:
There
are
two
modes
for
the
HDP:
User
only
and
Master
+
User
.
The
Master
+
User
mode
requires
two
HDPs;
the
system
administrator
enters
both
in
the
same
operation.
The
system
administrator
then
provides
the
user
HDP
to
the
system
user.
