Passwords Your notebook does not accept your password Make sure that CAPS LOCK and PAD LOCK are turned off, then retype the password. You forgot your startup password The password feature (which is set in the BIOS Setup utility) is very secure, with no easy way to recover a forgotten password. You must return your notebook for repair. Call Gateway Technical Support for instructions. 272 www.gateway.com
