Important information for mouse users This information applies only to computers with a mouse connected to the mouse port; a serial mouse is not affected by the password prompt Off mode. The password prompt Off mode prevents the computer from detecting that a mouse is attached. In this mode, the mouse device driver does not load automatically. Instead, the operating system displays an error message informing you that the mouse connector is disabled. To enable the operating system to load without displaying this error message on future restarts, type either your power-on or administrator password and press Enter. Then use the tab key and spacebar on the keyboard to put a check mark in the Do not display this message in the future check box. Once the operating system starts in password prompt Off mode, the computer will remain locked until you type your password. However, the mouse connected to the mouse port remains locked. Dual 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. If you start the computer by using the power switch, the computer operates the same as it does in password prompt On mode. See page 40 for more information. If the computer is started by an unattended method, such as remotely over a LAN, the computer operates the same as it does in password prompt Off mode. See page 40 for more information. Once you enter your power-on password, you will be able to view limited information in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, but you will not be able to change any settings. The password does not appear on the screen as you type it. If you type the wrong password, you receive a screen message telling you so. If you type the wrong password three times, you must turn off the computer and start again. When you type the correct password, the computer begins normal operation. Chapter 4.
