The computer will start the operating system. However, if you have a mouse connected to the mouse port, refer to the following: Important Information for Mouse Users This information applies only to those who have a PS/2 mouse. A serial mouse is not affected by the password prompt Off mode. Password prompt Off mode is useful for network servers and other computers that operate unattended. If a power failure occurs, the computer will automatically restart and resume operating when power is restored without operator intervention. The password prompt Off mode prevents the computer from detecting a PS/2 mouse. In this mode, the mouse device driver will not be loaded automatically through the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files. An error message informs you that the mouse connector is disabled. If you are using Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows 98, when the computer is started and the mouse-port-disabled error message appears, type either your power-on or administrator password to enable the keyboard. The mouse remains disabled. Use the keyboard to put a check mark in the Do not display this message in the future check box. When the operating system completes its loading routine, the mouse will be enabled. If you have an operating system other than Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT, check the documentation that comes with your operating system to enable the mouse on your computer. In the password prompt Dual mode, the startup behavior of the computer depends on whether the computer is started from the computer power switch or by an unattended method, such as a modem or timer.
