Power-On Password:
A power-on password denies access to the computer by an unauthorized user when the computer is powered on. When a power-on password is active, the password prompt appears on the screen each time the computer is powered on. The computer starts after the proper password is entered.
Removing a Power-on Password:
To service a computer with an active and unknown power-on password, power-off the computer and do the following:
Note:
Remind the user to enter a new password when service is complete.
Type 6381 Computers:
1. Remove the battery for 10 minutes.
2. Reinstall the battery.
3. Power-on the computer. The password is erased from memory.
Type 6384 Computers Model 325T:
1. Move the jumper on J8 so that it connects the center pin and the pin on the opposite end of the connector.
2. Power-on the computer. The password is erased from memory. (Leave the jumper in that position until the next time you reset the password.)
Models 425SX, 433DX, and 466DX2:
1. Move the jumper on JP8 so that it connects pins 2 and 3.
2. Apply a momentary short across the two ends of capacitor C17.
3. Move the jumper on JP8 back to pins 1 and 2. The password is erased from memory.
