5.1.1.1 Changing Owner and/or Organization by Modifying Registry

The registry has a variety of information required to operate Windows XP.

Changing the registry incorrectly may cause Windows XP to be started improperly. Change the registry with

sufficient care.

If Windows XP is not started or started improperly after change of the registry, reinstall Windows XP.

Be sure to change the registry before installing applications in FC-N21S. If the registry is changed after some

applications are installed, the changed registry may not be reflected on the versions of the applications.

However, Windows XP can operate normally.

Only symptoms such as shown by an example below may appear:

Ex: When organization and/or owner are changed after Microsoft Excel is installed,

 Selecting [Control Panel] → [Organization/owner in System] causes the organization and owner after

registry change to be displayed.

 The version information in the Help file of Excel indicates the organization and owner after registry

change.

(1) Registry change procedure

1. Start WindowsXP.

2. Click [Start] → [Run…], type "c:\windows\regedit.exe", and click [OK].

3. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion.

4. Click the following items and change the organization and/or owner.

Registered Organization

Registered Owner

5. Click [File] → [Exit] to exit the registry editor.

(2) Organization/owner check procedure

1. Start Windows XP.

2. Right-click [My Computer] and click [Property].

damaged, broken or peeled off.

The Microsoft Windows XP Professional license label (COA label) shall not be re-issued if it is damaged,

broken or peeled off.

Note: Because the COA label is partially transparent and not laminated, it seems to get a hole or be broken.

However, it does not indicate that the label is damaged. The transparent part of the label may have a

unique shape due to special processing to be different from others.

5.1.2 Re-setup of Windows XP in FC-N21S of Pre-installed Model

5.1.2.1

−

Re-setup

Re-setup can recover the damaged system of FC-N21S to the normal state.

However, files stored in the HDD are erased. In addition, it takes much time for re-setup. Check if re-setup is absolutely required before

starting the job.

(1) Situations requiring re-setup

Provide re-setup for the system in FC-N21S in the following situations:

1. Recovering system from trouble

At power-on, the power lamp goes on but Windows does not start.

One or more programs in the HDD do not operate.

System files in the HDD are erased unintentionally.

Repairing the system cannot solve problem.

Started Windows XP in the safe mode, but problem cannot be solved.

2. Changing settings of Windows

The settings of Windows are required to be recovered to the factory defaults.

3. Changing the settings of the HDD

The capacity of drive C is required to be changed.

The HDD is required to be configured with only a single partition.

The re-setup is to return the system in FC-N21S to that in the same state at shipment from factory based on the

data stored in the recovery CD-ROMs if the system is damaged.

The re-setup is also required after the configuration of the HDD is changed. It is because formatting (initializing)

the HDD causes the system to be erased.

(2) System repair procedure

The system can be repaired in either of the following two ways. The proper way is dependent on the system status. Try the simpler

method first in the order shown below:

1. Repair the system by using the [Last Known Good Configuration] menu.

2. Provide the system with re-setup by using the recovery CD-ROMs.

Notes on re-setup

 Make a backup of data.

Some re-setup methods may erase all or a part of data you have created. For the re-setup methods, see

"5.1.2.2 Standard and Custom Re-setups".

 Write down the settings of FC-N21S.

Re-setup returns all settings including network settings to the factory defaults.

To use FC-N21S with the same settings as the current ones after re-setup, write down the current settings of

FC-N21S.

 Remove peripheral devices purchased separately from FC-N21S.

Provide re-setup under the condition that devices coming with FC-N21C are only connected to FC-N21S.

Peripheral devices purchased separately should be connected to FC-N21S after re-setup.

 If a supervisor password is set, cancel the supervisor password or change the BIOS SETUP as follows:

Select [Security] → [Password on boot] → [Disabled].

For the supervisor password, see "4.4.1 Security".

 Do not suspend re-setup.

After starting re-setup, be sure to complete it according to the procedure described in this guide. If

suspended, restart the re-setup from the beginning.

 Install applications purchased separately after completion of re-setup.

from changing important items if he or she is not the administrator of the specific PC.

For the password setting procedure, see "4.4.1 Security".

6.1.2 HDD Password

You can set a password for the HDD (primary master)

If a HDD password is set for a PC, the password must be entered to another PC in which this HDD is installed.

The HDD password is intended to prevent the HDD from being used illegally in a PC other than yours. Even if a

HDD password is set, entering the password is not required on booting your PC.

There are two HDD passwords, or HDD master and HDD user passwords.

The HDD master password is intended to release the HDD user password.

The HDD user password is intended to authenticate your PC and the HDD installed in the PC.

For the setting procedure, see "4.4.1 Security".

6.2 I/O LOCK FEATURE

The I/O lock disables the I/O feature, measures to interchange data with external devices, on the BIOS SETUP Utility.

To use the I/O lock feature, set supervisor and user passwords to limit accessing to the BIOS SETUP Utility.
