Power and Power-Up Modes Starting the computer by password If you have already registered a password, there is one way to start the computer: ■ Enter the password manually. The password is necessary only if the computer was turned off in Shut Down Mode or Hibernation Mode. It is not needed in Sleep Mode and Restart. To enter a password manually, follow the steps as detailed below: 1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 1, Getting Started. The following message will appear in the screen: S Password= 2. Enter the Password. 3. Press ENTER. If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry password entry. Power-up modes The computer has three different power-up modes as follows: ■ Shut Down Mode : The computer will shut down without saving data - in view of this you must always save your work before you turn the computer off. ■ Hibernation Mode : Data in memory will be saved to the hard disk drive. ■ Sleep Mode : Data will be maintained in the computer's memory. Please refer to the sections Turning on the power and Turning off the power in Chapter 1, Getting Started for further information.
