Changing a Setup Password
To change the Setup Password, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the workstation.
2. When the cursor appears in the upper-right corner of the screen, press
F10.
NOTE
: The cursor displays in the upper-right corner of the screen for
approximately two seconds. If you do not press
F10
during this time, you must
turn the workstation off, then on again to access the utility.
3. Enter the current Setup Password.
NOTE:
Type carefully; for security reasons, the characters you type do not
appear on the screen. See the “National Keyboard Delimiter Characters”
section in this chapter for information about the alternate delimiter characters.
4. Press
Enter to bypass the welcome screens and display the main menu.
When the key icon (
) appears, type your current password, then a
slash (/) or alternate delimiter character, your new password, another
slash(/) or alternate delimiter character, and your new password:
current password/new password/new password
NOTE
: The Setup Password may also be changed by using the Computer
Setup utility. Follow the “Setup Password” procedure provided earlier in this
chapter. Locate the Setup Password option and follow the instructions to
change the Setup Password.
Completing this procedure causes the new password to take effect the next time
you turn on the workstation.
