Using the System Lock in your ECO.
System Lock
When this is On, the use of the I/O, TOOLBOX and ACTIVITY keys on the front of the case are severely limited. For instance, if the system is locked and you activate the Tools key, you will see the Toolbox screen and a message on the display that tells you that the system is locked. You can then press and hold the key for 10 seconds to activate the Toolbox. This allows you to use some of the Tools and enter some of the menus, but not all of them.
To unlock the system:
Open the MAINTENANCE MENU and press OFF in the System Lock box.
To unlock the system when a password was set:
If a Password was set, then you must press and hold Tools for 10 seconds. You will now see a keyboard on your screen, enter the password then select OK. Now enter the Maintenance Menu to turn your System Lock OFF.
Forgotten Password:
If a Password was set, but you have forgotten the password, you will need your external keyboard plugged into your ECO. Now you must press and hold tools for 10 seconds. You will now see a spelling keyboard on your screen, on the external Keyboard, press and hold the Alt while pressing the F4. Release both keys. This will close the ECO software.
To reopen the ECO software, you must restart the Windows program. To do this, select the START key, then go to Turn Off Computer. Select Restart. Once your ECO software comes back on, you can go to the Maintenance menu where you will see that the System Lock is now turned OFF.
