How to Disable the Power-On Password
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the frame (see “1040 Frame” on page 160).
3. Flip the keyboard over as shown in the figure.
4. Jumper the two password jumper pads (either R364
or R39) on the system board.
5. Power on the computer to clear the password.
6. Replace the keyboard and the frame.
Note: When replacing the frame, make sure the
frame fits correctly. If it is not in place, the
click buttons of the TrackPoint III cannot be
pressed. (See the note in “1050 Keyboard
Unit” on page 163.)
7. Replace the screws.
8. Power on the computer and wait until the POST ends.
9. Verify that the password prompt does not appear.
To reactivate the password, set the password again.
Power Shutdown Switch: The power shutdown
switch resets the system regardless of the microcode
status and forces the power off. Use this push button to
power off when power is not completely off or the
microcode is in a hung state. See “Bottom View” on
page 184 for the power shutdown switch.
