7. To clear the password, remove the RTC battery

for 30 seconds and replace it.

9. Turn on the notebook to verify that the power-on password has been cleared. If it has

not been cleared, repeat Steps 1 through 9.

Power-On Self Test (POST)

To run POST, complete these steps:

Turn off the notebook, then turn it on again. As soon as the Compaq logo appears press the

ESC key to clear the logo and display the POST messages as they occur.

If the notebook does not beep, POST has successfully completed its test and detected no

errors. POST then re-boots from the hard drive, or from a bootable diskette if one is

installed in the diskette drive.

However, if POST detects errors, these are indicated by messages on the display screen

and/or audible messages. A list of the POST error codes and what they mean is shown in

the table below.
