CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you read the
information in this section carefully to understand the
implications of setting up a BIOS system password. If
you set up a BIOS System password and enter it incorrectly
several times, you will be locked out of the system. If you
become locked out, you can restart the Tablet PC and retry
the password again. You can restart the Tablet PC and re-
enter the password as many times as you need to. However,
if you are unsuccessful in entering the password, you will not
be able to access your Tablet PC.
If this happens, contact Motion Computing Technical Support
at www.motioncomputing.com/support for assistance. Have
your Tablet PC serial number available (on the label on the
