If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you

probably need to turn it off and on again. Remove any

diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off the computer

and wait 20 seconds. Then turn on the computer.

Using a Password

Using SETUP, you can define both a Supervisor level password

and a User level password. You can also specify whether a

password is required when you start the system. This
password can control who has access to the diskette drives.

If you enabled the

Password on boot

option in SETUP,

you must enter the Supervisor or User password every time
you turn on or reset the computer. If you enter a password but

disable the

Password on boot

option, you must enter the

password when you start SETUP.

If you set the

Diskette access

option to Supervisor, you

can access a diskette drive only if you entered the Supervisor

password when you started your system. If you entered a User
password when you started the system but the

Diskette

access

option is set to Supervisor, you see an error message

when you access the diskette drive.

When you need to enter your password, you’ll see the Security

Check window containing this prompt:

Enter password:

As you type your password, you see a rectangle for each

character you type. When you press

Enter,

the computer loads

the operating system (or starts SETUP).
