A

total

progress

bar

allows

you

to

audit

this

process,

which

will

take

about

8

minutes.

The

final

recovery

disc

may

be

safely

removed

during

this

time,

but

may

also

be

left

in

the

optical

drive

since

it

is

not

bootable.

7.

You

will

then

be

prompted

to

restart

the

computer.

Select

Yes

.

A

warning

window

appears,

giving

you

one

last

chance

to

stop

the

restart,

but

disappears

automatically

after

about

5

seconds.

File

processing

continues

in

DOS

screen

mode

for

about

two

minutes

and

the

computer

restarts

to

the

Windows

Passwords

As

many

as

three

passwords

may

be

needed

for

any

ThinkPad

computer:

the

power-on

password

(POP),

the

hard-disk

password

(HDP),

and

the

supervisor

password

(SVP).

If

any

of

these

passwords

has

been

set,

a

prompt

for

it

appears

on

the

screen

whenever

the

computer

is

turned

on.

The

computer

does

not

start

until

the

password

is

entered.

Exception:

If

only

an

SVP

is

installed,

the

password

prompt

does

not

appear

when

the

operating

system

is

booted.

Power-on

password:

A

power-on

password

(POP)

protects

the

system

from

being

powered

on

by

an

unauthorized

person.

The

password

must

be

entered

before

an

operating

system

can

be

booted.

Hard-disk

password:

There

are

two

hard-disk

passwords

(HDPs):

v

User

HDP—for

the

user

v

Master

HDP—for

the

system

administrator,

who

can

use

it

to

get

access

to

the

hard

disk

even

if

the

user

has

changed

the

user

HDP

Note:

There

are

two

modes

for

the

HDP:

User

only

and

Master

+

User

.

The

Master

+

User

mode

requires

two

HDPs;

the

system

administrator

enters

both

in

the

same

operation.

The

system

administrator

then

provides

the

user

HDP

to

the

system

user.
