If you set a power-on password when you ran the Setup program,
you must enter it every time you turn on or reset the computer.

Follow these steps to use your password:

1.

If you do not have a hard disk, insert your Startup diskette
in drive A.

2.

Turn on or reset the computer. The screen displays a key
prompt:

3.

At the key prompt, type your power-on password. The key

turns when you type a character, but the screen does not

display the characters you type. Then press 

Enter.

After you type the password correctly and press 

Enter, 

a happy

face character appears. Then the computer loads MS-DOS and
displays the MS-DOS command prompt. (If you installed the

Shell program when you installed MS-DOS, you see the Shell

Start Programs menu instead of the command prompt.)

Note

If you turned 

on network server mode when you ran the

Setup program, 

you need to use 

a 

different 

procedure to enter

your password. See “Using Your 

Computer as a Network

Server” in Chapter 4.

You have three chances to enter the correct password. If you do

not enter the correct password at the key prompt, another key

prompt appears. If you do not enter the correct password at the
third key prompt, the screen displays a zero, the keyboard locks
up, and you cannot use the computer. Reset the computer and
try to enter the correct password again. (See “Resetting the
Computer,” above, for instructions.)
