■ About passwords for the Web page If an incorrect "users" or "admin" password is entered 3 times in a row when attempting to access the Web pages of a machine that has the data security kit installed, access to pages that require entry of the "users" or "admin" password will be prohibited for 5 minutes. Some of the procedures for operating the machine change when the data security kit is installed.
