<p>A data processing method and apparatus have a resume function and use a password. When a power switch of a data processing system is turned on while it is selected that the resume function is to be enabled and the password is to be collated, the data processing system displays a message prompting an operator to input a password. When a predetermined password is input from a keyboard (8) or the like, the data processing system executes resume processing, i.e., executes data processing to be continued to data processing executed immediately before the power switch was turned off. When the predetermined password is not input, the resume operation is inhibited, and a content saved by the resume function can be prevented from being disclosed to or destroyed by a third party.</p> |
