There are two ways to reset the computer:
3 If you are using MS-DOS, hold down Ctrl and Alt and
press the Del key. The screen goes blank for a moment
and then the computer should reload MS-DOS. If it
doesn’t, try the next method.
Q Press the RESET button on the front panel. This method
works even when the computer does not respond to your
keyboard entries.
If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you
probably need to turn it off and reboot it. Remove any
diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off the computer
and wait five seconds. If you do not have a hard disk, insert
the Startup diskette in drive A. Then turn on the computer.
Using a Password
If you set a password when you ran the SETUP program, you
must enter it every time you turn on the computer or press
the RESET button. Follow these steps to use your password:
1. If you do not have a hard disk, insert your Startup
diskette in drive A.
2. Turn on the computer or press RESET. After the computer
completes its memory test, the screen displays the
following prompt:
Enter Password :
3. Type your password at the prompt. The screen does not
display the characters you type. Then press Enter.
After you type the password correctly and press Enter, you
see the Press <Del> to start SETUP prompt. If you do
not press Del, the computer loads MS-DOS and displays the
MS-DOS command prompt.
