Using passwords

The password-setting feature prevents your computer from being used by others. Once you set a password, a prompt appears on the screen each time you power on the computer. You must enter your password at the prompt. You cannnot use the computer unless you type the correct password. You can set the following passwords on your computer:

• The power-on password protects your computer from being used by unauthorized persons.

• The hard disk password protects the data on your hard disk from being accessed by unauthorized persons.

• The supervisor password protects the system information stored in Easy-Setup so that without knowing the password, nobody can change the configuration of the computer.

To use the different passwords, refer to the User's Reference.
