(However, if you have a mouse connected to the mouse port, refer to the Important Information for Mouse Users text box on page 42.) When the operating system starts in password prompt Off mode, the keyboard remains locked. If you have a mouse connected to the mouse port, it also remains locked. Although you are not prompted to type a password in this mode, you can type your power-on password anytime after POST has completed, even after the operating system has loaded. If you type a password, the keyboard will unlock, but the mouse connected to the mouse port will remain disabled. 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. Chapter 4. Configuring Your Computer. 41
