Once you set a password, a prompt appears on the screen each time you turn on the computer. You must enter your password at the prompt. You cannot use the computer unless you type the correct password. You can set the following passwords on your computer: Power-on password Set the power-on password to protect your computer from use by another person. It provides the following security features: ­ You need to type the power-on password at startup. Therefore, unauthorized users cannot use your computer. ­ You need to type the power-on password when resuming from hibernation mode. Therefore, unauthorized users cannot use your computer. Setup password Set the setup password to prevent unauthorized changes to your computer's configuration. It provides the following security features: ­ You need to type the setup password to access the BIOS Utility. Therefore, unauthorized users cannot make changes to your computer's configuration. ­ You need to type the setup password to access the Notebook Manager in Windows 98. Therefore, unauthorized users cannot make changes to your computer's configuration. Hard disk password The hard disk password provides an extra measure of security. Even if you set a power-on password, another user can remove the hard disk drive in your computer and put it in a different computer to access your data. If you set a hard disk password, however, another person cannot access the data on your hard © Copyright IBM Corporation 1999 27 disk without knowing the password. It provides the following features: ­ You need to type the hard disk password at startup. ­ If the hard disk drive is moved to another computer, the hard disk password must be typed at startup. Therefore, unauthorized users cannot access your hard disk even if the drive is removed from the computer. ­ The hard disk password is required when the computer resumes from suspend mode. Other password Some Microsoft operating systems provide special Windows passwords. Refer to that system's user's guide for information on how to set, change, and use these passwords. Do Not Forget Your Password If you forget your hard disk or setup password, you have to take your computer to an IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative to have the password reset. Proof or purchase is required, and an additional charge might be required for the service. 28 IBM ThinkPad i Series 1400 Supplement Setting a Password Setting a Password To set a password, do the following: 1.

Additional Notices © Copyright IBM Corporation 1999 35 Year 2000 Readiness and Instructions Year 2000 Readiness and Instructions This is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure. A product is Year 2000 Ready if the product, when used in accordance with its associated documentation, is capable of correctly processing, providing and/or receiving date data within and between the 20th and 21st centuries, provided all other products (for example, software, hardware, and firmware) used with the product properly exchange date data with it. This IBM PC hardware product has been designed to process fourdigit date information correctly within and between the 20th and 21st centuries. If your IBM computer is on when the century changes, you should turn it off and then back on again once, or restart the operating system, to ensure that the internal clock resets itself for the new century. This IBM PC product cannot prevent errors that might occur if software you use or exchange data with is not ready for the Year 2000. IBM software that comes with this product is Year 2000 Ready. However, software from other companies might come with this IBM PC product. IBM cannot take responsibility for the readiness of that software. You should contact the software developers directly if you wish to verify readiness, understand limitations, or look for any software updates. To learn more about IBM PC products and the Year 2000, visit our Web site at http://www.pc.ibm.com/year2000.

Additional Notices 37 Notice to European Users of the IBM ThinkPad Modem Notice to European Users of the IBM ThinkPad Modem This equipment has been approved to Council Decision 98/ 482/EC "CTR 21" for pan-European single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance. 38 IBM ThinkPad i Series 1400 Supplement Notice to European Users of the IBM ThinkPad Modem Warning Notice to New Zealand Users of the IBM ThinkPad Modem The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom. In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work properly if: 1. it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and 2. the application using the modem is compatible with the application at the other end of the call - e.g. accessing the Internet requires suitable software in addition to a modem. Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom's Telepermit requirements are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom's Specifications: 1. There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation. 2. The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt. 3. Where automatic calls are made to different numbers, the equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 5 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt. Chapter 5. Additional Notices 39 Warning Notice to New Zealand Users of the IBM ThinkPad Modem 4. The equipment shall be set to ensure that calls are answered between 3 and 30 seconds of receipt of ringing (S0 set between 2 and 10). This ensures: a. a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been successfully switched through the network. b. caller identification information (which occurs between the first and second ring cadences) is not destroyed. The preferred method of dialling is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialling. If for some reason you must use decadic dialling, your communications program must be set up to record numbers using the following translation table as this modem does not implement the New Zealand "Reverse Dialling" standard. Number to be dialled: Number to program into computer: 0 0 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 5 6 4 7 3 8 2 9 1 Note that where DTMF dialling is used, the numbers should be entered normally. NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM. 40 IBM ThinkPad i Series 1400 Supplement
