Hard disk drive protection. When moving a password-protected hard disk drive to
another OmniBook, do one of the following:
• Remove user password protection before transferring the hard disk drive to
another OmniBook, or
• Set the user password of the new OmniBook to match the current password on
your hard disk drive.
To delete a password
1. Run the System Configuration Utility and use its System menu Password
commands (rebooting is not required).
2. Choose to set the user or administrator password, whichever one you want to
delete.
3. When prompted, type your old password, but leave the new password empty and
exit.
Hint
Turning off password protection. In the System Configuration Utility, you can
clear all of the password options. This retains your password, but it’s never invoked.
