Power and Power-Up Modes
Starting the computer by password
If you registered a password, start the computer by entering the password
manually.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. The
following message will appear in the LCD:
Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]
2. Enter the Password.
3. Press Enter.
Power-up modes
The computer has three power-up modes:
■ Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)
■ Standby (Power remains on, saving data in RAM, but the CPU and all
other devices enter sleep mode.)
■ Boot (does not save data in memory)
The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot
mode, not in Hibernation or Standby mode.
If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the
computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter
the password.
Refer also to the section Turning off the power in Chapter 3, Getting
Started.
