Hard Disk Password Once you set a hard disk password, the hard disk password prompt ( ) appears at the top left corner of the screen each time you turn on your computer or when your computer returns from hibernation mode to normal operation. Notes: 1. When both power-on and hard disk passwords are set, the computer asks for the power-on password at boot-up and resume from hibernation mode. 2. When the hard disk password is set, and you want to enter the BIOS Utility, you need to press F1 immediately after correctly entering the hard disk password. To enter a password, do the following: 1.

If you fail to enter the correct password in three tries, you must press and hold the power switch for 5 seconds to turn off the computer, wait 5 seconds, and then turn it on again and retry.
