205 Keeping Your Files Safe User-level passwords TSETUP closes, returning you to the system prompt. The next time you start the computer your password will be disabled. Using the power-on (user-level) password Whenever you start your computer with a power-on (user-level) password in effect, the computer prompts you to enter the password before it goes through its normal startup procedure. When your computer prompts you to enter your password, type it in and press Enter. If you enter the password correctly, the computer continues with its normal startup procedure. If you enter an incorrect password, the computer beeps. After three incorrect attempts, the system turns off automatically. If you've forgotten your password and you have a password service diskette: 1 Connect your diskette drive. For instructions, see "Connecting an external diskette drive" on page 64 or "Inserting a module into the SelectBay" on page 76, depending upon the type of diskette drive you have. 2 Turn on the computer. The system prompts you for your password. 3 Insert the password service diskette into the diskette drive and press Enter. The system prompts you, "Set Password Again (Y/N)?" CAUTION: The password service diskette is not reusable. Once you use it, you must create a new diskette, even if you set the same password. 4 To enter TSETUP and reset your password, press Y. Follow the instructions in "Setting a user-level password in TSETUP" on page 200 to reset your password.
