Press F9 in the Setup Utility ( page 21). This will restore the Setup Utility’s settings
to their default values (except the password settings). Then, the Setup Utility must be run
once again for you to input the appropriate operating environment settings. (The processing
speed depends on the application software used, so this operation may not cause the pro-
cessing speed to increase.)
You can set the date and time using the following procedure.
Windows 2000 : [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Date/Time]
Windows XP : [start] - [Control Panel] - [Date, Time, Language, and Regional Op-
tions] - [Date and Time]
When the computer is connected to a LAN, confirm the date and time of the server.
If you continue to experience problems, the internal battery maintaining the clock may
need to be replaced. Contact Panasonic Technical Support (
page 40).
This computer will not correctly recognize the date and time starting from the year 2100 A.D.
Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does not appear
when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode.
If you want to use the security function when using the standby or hibernation mode, use the
Windows password as follows:
Windows 2000
Set the password in [Control Panel] - [Users and Passwords], then add the check mark for
[Prompt for password when computer goes off standby] in [Control Panel] - [Power Op-
tions] - [Advanced].
Windows XP
Select the account to change in [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and set the password, then
add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby] in
[Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] - [Advanced].
Windows 2000
After reinstalling, setup Windows and then set the password again.
Windows XP
If you have created a password reset disk ( page 15), a message is displayed when you
fail to correctly enter the password. Follow the message’s instructions and set the password
again by using the password reset disk.
If you have not created a password reset disk, after reinstalling, setup Windows and then set
the password again.
When a problem occurs, refer to this page. The “Reference Manual” also contains detailed information. If a problem appears to be
related to a software application, read the software related manual. If you still cannot troubleshoot the problem, contact Panasonic
Technical Support (
