If you are using Windows, press

Ctrl Alt Del

and follow the

instructions on the screen.

If these methods do not work, you may need to reset the
computer.

Do not turn off the computer to exit a program or stop a
command unless you have to, because the computer clears any
data you did not save.

Resetting the Computer

Occasionally, you may want to clear the computer’s memory

without turning it off. You can do this by resetting the

computer.

For example, if an error occurs and the computer does not

respond to your keyboard entries, you can reset it to reload

your operating system and try again. However, resetting erases

any data in memory that you have not saved; so reset only if

necessary.

Caution

Do not reset the computer to exit a program. Some programs
classify and store new data when you exit them. If you reset

the computer without properly exiting a program, you may

lose data.

To reset your computer, press

Ctrl Alt Del

and then follow the

instructions on the screen. You can also press the RESET button.
The screen displays nothing for a moment, and then the
computer reloads the operating system.
