Chapter 3. Using Passwords
The password-setting feature helps to prevent your computer from
being used by others. 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. There-
fore, 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 Note-
book 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.

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 accord-
ance 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.

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.

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 Tele-
permit 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.

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: 0 1 23456789
Number to program into
computer:
0987654321
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.
