Off In password prompt Off mode (sometimes referred to as unattended<br />

start mode), you are not prompted to enter your power-on password<br />

when you turn on the computer. The computer will start the operating<br />

system. However, if you have a mouse connected to the mouse port,<br />

refer to the following text box.<br />

Important Information for Mouse <strong>User</strong>s<br />

This information applies only to those who have a mouse connected<br />

to the mouse port; a serial mouse is not affected by the password<br />

prompt Off mode.<br />

The password prompt Off mode prevents the computer from<br />

detecting that a mouse is attached. Because the mouse device driver<br />

will not be loaded automatically through the CONFIG.SYS or<br />

AUTOEXEC.BAT files in this mode, an error message that the mouse<br />

port is disabled will appear, and the computer will halt. To enable<br />

the operating system to load without displaying the error message,<br />

read the information below that applies to your operating system.<br />

If you are using OS/2, do one of the following before enabling<br />

password prompt Off mode:<br />

� Set the CONFIG.SYS file so the operating system does not stop on<br />

a device-driver error. To do this, put the command<br />

"PAUSEONERROR=NO" near the top of the CONFIG.SYS file.<br />

or<br />

� Remove the mouse driver statement from the CONFIG.SYS file.<br />

If you are using Windows NT or Windows 95, do the following:<br />

� When the computer is started and the mouse port disabled error<br />

message appears, type either your power-on or administrator<br />

password to enable the keyboard. Then use the keyboard to put<br />

a check mark in the Do not display this message in the future<br />

check box.<br />

Once the operating system starts in password prompt Off mode, the<br />

keyboard will remain locked. If you have a mouse connected to the<br />

mouse port, it also will remain locked.<br />

Although you are not prompted to type a password in this mode, you<br />

can type either your power-on or administrator password anytime after<br />

POST has completed, even after the operating system has loaded. If you<br />

type a password, the keyboard will unlock, but the mouse connected to<br />

the mouse port will remain disabled.<br />
