Whenever you turn on your system, press the reset button, or reboot the system by
pressing the <Ctrl><Alt><Del> key combination, the following prompt appears on
the screen when Password Status is set to Unlocked:

If Password Status is set to Locked, the following prompt appears:
7\SHWKHSDVVZRUGDQGSUHVV(QWHU!
After you type the correct system password and press <Enter>, your system boots
and you can use the keyboard to operate your system as usual.
NOTE: If you have assigned a setup password (see “Using the Setup Password Fea-
ture” found later in this chapter), the system accepts your setup password as an
alternate system password.
If a wrong or incomplete system password is entered, the following message appears
on the screen:
,QFRUUHFWSDVVZRUG
(QWHUSDVVZRUG
If an incorrect or incomplete system password is entered again, the same message
appears on the screen.
The third and subsequent times an incorrect or incomplete system password is
entered, the system displays the following message:
,QFRUUHFWSDVVZRUG

The number of unsuccessful attempts made to enter the correct system password
can alert you that an unauthorized person has attempted to use your system.
Even after your system is turned off and on, the previous message is displayed each
time an incorrect or incomplete system password is entered.
NOTE: You can use Password Status in conjunction with System Password and Setup
Password to further protect your system from unauthorized changes. For more infor-
mation, see “Password Status” found earlier in this chapter.
