Deleting a Password
To delete the password, complete the following steps:
1. To delete the Power-On Password, turn on the computer.
To delete the Setup Password, turn on the computer and
run Computer Setup.
2. When the key icon is displayed, enter your current
password followed by a slash (/) or alternate delimiter
character as shown:
current password/
This deletes the password until you establish a new one
through the Security Management option in Computer
Setup.
Clearing a Power-On Password
If you forget your password, you cannot access the computer.
You will need to disable the Power-On Password feature by
setting the appropriate jumper on the system board. You will
then be able to access your system. For more information, refer
to Appendix E, “System Board Jumpers.”
