‹When you have forgotten a Windows log-on password.
Windows XP has a function to reset a current password and to set a new password.
To use this function, you need to create a password reset disk beforehand following the 
steps below.
AConnect the USB floppy disk drive (optional: CF-VFDU03) to your com-
puter.
BClick [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts].
CClick the account you have logged on, and click [Prevent a forgotten pass-
word] from [Related Tasks] menu.
Create a password reset disk following the onscreen instructions, and 
store the password reset disk in a safe place.
zOnly the log-on password for each account can be reset. The pass-
word set in the Setup Utility cannot be reset.
The screen displayed first when powering on the computer and logging on to Windows, 
is called the “desktop.” (These screens and icons are only examples.)
zIcons on the desktop
When you double-click icons, the software application will run and the window will 
open.
z[start] menu
When you click [start], the menu will be displayed.

BLift open the display.
zDo not open the display wider than necessary (135° or more), and do 
not apply excessive pressure to the LCD.  Also, do not hold the LCD 
when opening or closing the display.
2Turn your computer on.
Slide the power switch   and hold it for approximately one second until the 
power indicator   turns on before releasing it.
zDo not slide the power switch and hold it for more than four seconds; this 
will cause the power to be turned off forcibly.
zWhile booting, avoid the following until the hard disk drive indicator   has 
turned off.
 Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
 Touching the power switch.
 Performing any keyboard, touch pad, or external mouse operations.
 Closing the display.
zDo not slide the power switch repeatedly.
zOnce the computer is powered off, you must wait at least ten seconds 
before powering it on again.
3Log-on to Windows.
After confirming that the hard disk drive indicator   has turned off, click the 
user (users icon).
zInput the password, then click  . Until the correct password is entered, 
the computer will not operate.
Confirm that character input is not set to “Caps Lock” or “NumLK.” 
(Îpage 17)
zThis operation may differ according to [Use the Welcome screen setting].
zWhen only one user has been created and no password has been set, the 
screen for selecting the user will not be displayed (automatic log-on).
4Select your application.
Run various software applications, etc. and operate them.
NOTE
zThe power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the touch 
pad or an external mouse (when one is connected) for a certain interval of time, the 
power to the LCD and hard disk may be turned off.  The LCD will resume operation 
when the touch pad or an external mouse (when one is connected) is used or a key 
is pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off even when an application software is 
being installed.  In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection dialog 
box will be shown, do not press the 
Space key or the Enter key to attempt to 
resume from this condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, 
press a key unrelated to the direct triggering of a selection, like the 
Ctrl key.
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby 
or hibernation mode. The computer will resume by sliding the power switch.

Expanding Memory
You can increase the processing speed of Windows and application software by 
expanding the memory (sold separately) to increase the memory.  (Effects may differ 
depending on your usage conditions.)
zUse recommended RAM module products. Do not use non-recommended RAM 
modules.  Non-recommended RAM modules may not operate properly, and may 
cause damage to your computer.  Refer to Specifications (Îpage 62) for recom-
mended RAM module specifications. Refer to various sources for recommended 
RAM module.
zMatsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility whatsoever for fail-
ures or damage caused by the use of non-recommended RAM modules, or by 
incorrect installation or removal of such RAM modules.  Before installing a RAM 
module, confirm the product type and the correct installation method.
CAUTION
zRAM modules are extremely sensitive to static electricity. There are cases 
where static electricity generated by the human body has adversely affected 
such RAM modules. When inserting or removing a RAM module, do not touch 
the terminals or internal components, insert objects other than the module, or 
allow foreign particles to enter. Doing so has been known to cause damage, fire 
or electric shock.
