mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.
To enter a password manually, follow these steps:

following message will appear in the LCD:
Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]

you enter the password.

3. Press Enter.
If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the
computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter
the password.
Power-up modes
The computer has three power-up modes:
■
Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)
■
Sleep (power remains on, maintaining the data in memory, but the CPU
and all other devices effectively enter a 'sleep' mode)
■
Boot (does not save data in memory)
Refer also to the section Turning off the power in Chapter 3,

when you close the display panel, and turned on again when you open it.
