This will delete the password until you establish a new one through Security Management.
NOTE
: The Setup Password may also be deleted 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 delete the Setup Password. The Setup utility will provide an option
to disable the Setup Password; disabling the Setup Password is the same as deleting it.
See the “National Keyboard Delimiter Characters” section in this chapter for information about
alternate delimiter characters.

from the power connector on the rear of the workstation.
