SENSATION!  (250-1651)          Password Utilities     Faxback Doc. # 2732

The computer supports two passwords:

POWER-ON PASSWORD  Prevents unauthorized use of your computer.  If you set
                   up a power-on password, you must enter it each time you
                   turn on the computer.

KEYBOARD PASSWORD  Temporarily locks and unlocks your keyboard and mouse
                   without your having to turn off the computer.  The
                   keyboard password is cleared when you turn off the
                   computer or reset the computer by turning it off and
                   on.

Each password can have up to seven characters and can consist of any
characters on the keyboard except the / character.  Use a password that is
easy for you to remember but difficult for anyone else to guess.  For
example, do not use your name.

The password utilities record the exact keys you press as you create a
password.  For example, if you use the 6 from the typewriter keys when you
create the password, you cannot substitute the 6 from the numeric keys
when you enter the password.  However, the password utilities do not
distinguish between the uppercase and lowercase letters.

When you create a password, the characters are displayed on the screen as
you type them.  When you change or enter a password, the characters are
not displayed.

CREATING A POWER-ON PASSWORD

To create a power-on password:

1.  Be sure you are in the drive and directory containing the PASSWORD.COM
    file.  At the system prompt, type PASSWORD and press ENTER.  The
    password menu is displayed.

2.  The power-on password option is highlighted.  Press ENTER.

3.  Type the password, using the backspace key to correct any errors.
    Press ENTER.  The following prompt is displayed:

       Is this correct?  (Y/N)

4.  If the password is correct, type Y and press ENTER.  If the password
    is incorrect, type N, and press ENTER, and enter the correct password.
    You will be prompted to enter the correct password each time you turn
    on the computer or reset the computer by turning it off and on.

ENTERING A POWER-ON PASSWORD

If you have specified a power-on password, the following prompt is
displayed when you turn on the computer:

    Enter Password:  -

The computer permits three attempts to enter the correct password.  If the
correct password is not entered within three attempts, the computer will
not accept further input from the keyboard or mouse.  To try again, turn
the computer off and then on again.

CHANGING OR REMOVING A POWER-ON PASSWORD

When the computer prompts you for the power-on password, you can change or
remove the existing password.

To change the password, type the current password, a forwarded slash (/),
and the new password.  Then press ENTER.  For example, if the current
password is old and you want to change it to new, type old/new and press
ENTER.

To remove the current password without assigning a new one, type the
current password and a forward slash (/).  The, press ENTER after the
slash.

NOTE:  If you forget your power-on password, you can clear all of the
       information in CMOS be removing the CMOS RAM battery.  Refer to
       "Replacing the Battery"  for instructions.  Reinstall the battery
       after 30 seconds.  After clearing CMOS, you must run the setup
       utility to re-enter all system configuration settings.

CREATING AND USING A KEYBOARD PASSWORD

A keyboard password lets you prevent input from the keyboard and mouse
without turning off the computer.  To further protect your data, you can
clear the screen before locking the keyboard and mouse.  The keyboard
password is removed each time you turn off or reset the computer by
turning it off and on.

NOTE:  Unless you specify a different keyboard password, the keyboard
       password is the same as the power-on password.
