Then the computer restarts, does some more DOS full screen processing, and restarts again to a Windows desktop where factory preinstallation continues for about 12 more minutes, another restart to a DOS screen and then back to the Windows splash screen and back to the desktop for more preinstallation. This lasts about 10 more minutes and the computer restarts to do NTFS conversion and then restarts to the OOBE (Out of Box Experience) environment. Passwords As many as three passwords may be needed for any ThinkPad computer: the power-on password (POP), the hard-disk password (HDP), and the supervisor password (SVP). If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it appears on the screen whenever the computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the password is entered. Exception: If only an SVP is installed, the password prompt does not appear when the operating system is booted. Power-on password A power-on password (POP) protects the system from being powered on by an unauthorized person. The password must be entered before an operating system can be booted. For how to remove the POP, see "How to remove the power-on password" on page 35. 34 ThinkPad R61, R61e, and R61i (15.4-inch widescreen) Hardware Maintenance Manual
