The NETBOOK PRO may be configured to require a password when it is turned on. 
To do this:
1. Select StartSettingsControl Panel. The Control Panel appears.
2. Double-click on the Password icon. The Password Properties dialogue 
appears:

Password Protection section of the dialogue becomes active.
4. Select the At Power On checkbox to enable the power-on password.
5. Press the OK button. When the NETBOOK PRO is turned on, it will 
request the power-on password before opening the Desktop. Changes 
to the Owner and Password settings will also require the password.
To disable the power-on password:
1. Select StartSettingsControl Panel. The Control Panel appears.
2. Double-click on the Password icon. A dialogue appears, requesting the 
existing password.

appears.
4. Deselect the At Power On checkbox.
5. Press the OK button.
The existing password will still be active. Any changes to the Owner or Password 
settings will still require this password for access. To completely disable the pass-
word to allow unrestricted access to the Owner or Password settings, clear the two 
password-entry fields and press the OK button.
