Using a Password Using SETUP, you can define both a Supervisor level password and a User level password. You can also specify whether a password is required when you start the system. In addition, the password can control who has access to the diskette drives. If you enabled the Password on boot option in SETUP, you must enter the Supervisor or User password every time you turn on or reset the computer. If you enter a password but disable the Password on boot option, you must enter the password when you start SETUP. If you set the Diskette access option to Supervisor, you can access a diskette drive only if you entered the Supervisor password when you started your system. If you entered a User password when you started the system but the D i s k e t t e access option is set to Supervisor, you see an error message when you access the diskette drive. When you need to enter your password, you'll see the Security Check window containing this prompt: Enter password: As you type your password, you see a rectangle for each character you type. When you press Enter, the computer loads the operating system (or starts SETUP). If you don't enter the correct password the first time you type it, you can try two more times. If you haven't entered the correct password on the third try, the computer locks up to prevent unauthorized access. You see the message: SYSTEM DISABLED Using Your Computer 3-11

Using a Password
Using SETUP, you can define both a Supervisor level password
and a User level password. You can also specify whether a
password is required when you start the system. In addition,
the password can control who has access to the diskette drives.
If you enabled the
Password on boot
option in SETUP,
you must enter the Supervisor or User password every time
you turn on or reset the computer. If you enter a password but
disable the
Password on boot
option, you must enter the
password when you start SETUP.
If you set the
Diskette access
option to Supervisor, you
can access a diskette drive only if you entered the Supervisor
password when you started your system. If you entered a User
password when you started the system but the
Diskette
access
option is set to Supervisor, you see an error message
when you access the diskette drive.
When you need to enter your password, you’ll see the Security
Check window containing this prompt:
Enter password:
As you type your password, you see a rectangle for each
character you type. When you press
Enter,
the computer loads
the operating system (or starts SETUP).
If you don’t enter the correct password the first time you type
it, you can try two more times. If you haven’t entered the
correct password on the third try, the computer locks up to
prevent unauthorized access. You see the message:
