Abstract
In a system such as a computer system, and in a power controlling method for the system, power applied to the overall system is controlled according to correctness or incorrectness of a password in starting up the system. The password is received from a user. Power is applied to the overall system only when the input password is identical to a preset password, and the power is shut off if not. If the password is correct, the applied power is automatically shut off, thereby prohibiting unauthorized use of the system. In starting up the system, only the minimum power necessary for inputting the password and controlling the power is applied to the system, thereby advantageously preventing unnecessary power consumption.
