WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: DR DOS contains a complex Setup utility that has an option for enabling password protection on the hard drive. When installing DR DOS, users are prompted to input two passwords; a System password and a User password. When users boot from a floppy disk, the password prompt will still appear. Users should enter the System password at this point instead of the User password which is entered on a normal bootup.

The password protect utility can be disabled through the normal DR DOS setup by following the steps below:
1.      Run Setup at the DOS prompt
2.      Select the security option
3.      Select Disable

***Caution***
Technicians should use discretion when advising a customer to use the Setup utility, as with all advanced DOS utilities.
