If your computer still does not respond, you can reset it

using the Ctrl Alt Del command or the

RESET

button. See

“Resetting Your Computer” in Chapter 3 for more

information.

If resetting the computer does not work, turn it off and

wait at least five seconds. If you do not have a hard disk

drive, insert the Startup or Reference diskette in drive A.

Then turn on the computer. It should load MS-DOS.

If you installed a display adapter card in your computer,

and you want to use that adapter as your primary display

adapter, you need to change the setting of jumper J1 on

the main system board to disable the built-in VGA

adapter. If you have not set the jumper, you will not see

any display on the screen. You may also need to set

jumpers J3 and J5. See “Changing the Jumper Settings” in

Chapter 5 for instructions.

Password Problems

If you set a password using the SETUP program, you must

enter it before you can use the system. When you turn on the

computer, it runs a memory test. Then the screen displays

the Enter Password prompt. If you do not enter the

correct password, you cannot use the computer.

If you have any trouble using your password, try the

following:

If you type the password and press Enter but nothing

happens, type it again and press Enter.

If you know the current password but you want to

change or delete it, see Chapter 2 for instructions.

If you do not know the current password, follow the steps

below.
