First i though that it was due to changing the setting of boot up/password or bios password, but after unpluging the CMOS Batter/Drum Battery , it still shows the same message and after 3 *wrong guess/tries the system shut off itself.
can't even log in/get in the system.
Any comment.
Thanks.

NAME
answer - phone message transcription system
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The interactive program helps you to transcribe telephone (and other) messages into electronic mail.
The program uses your personal alias database and the system alias database, allowing you to use aliases to address the messages.
Options
supports the following options:
Prompt for phone-slip-type message fields.
Allow addresses that are not aliases.
Operation
begins with the prompt. Enter a one-word alias or a two-word user name ("Words" are separated by spaces.) The user name is converted to
an alias in the form where f is the first character of the first word, lastword is the second word, and all letters are shifted to lower-
case. For example, is converted to the alias
Without the option, the specified or converted alias must exist in the alias databases. With the option, if the processed "alias" is not
in the alias databases, it is used for the address as is.
The fully expanded address is displayed.
With the option, you are asked for typical message slip data:
Enter the appropriate data. You can put just an or nothing after the pertinent dash prompts, or you can type longer comments. Whatever
you enter becomes part of the message. Lines with no added text are omitted from the message.
Finally, you are prompted for a message. Enter a message, if any, ending with a blank line. The message is sent and the prompt is
repeated.
To end the program, enter any one of or at the prompt.
EXAMPLES
User input is in normal type.
With No Options
This example shows a valid alias, an invalid user name, and a valid user name. In the invalid case, the converted alias is displayed in
square brackets.
With the -u Option
If you enter the previous error is treated differently.
With the -p Option
If you enter the phone-slip prompts are added. The three lines with no added text are deleted from the message.
