IMPORTANT:
If you set the Administrator Password and then forget it, you cannot
change the server configuration without clearing the passwords using Switch 5. See the
section "Clearing a Password.”
Entering a Password
To enter a password, follow this procedure:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. When the key icon appears on the monitor, enter the current password.
For security, the characters you type do not appear on the screen, but
OK displays to confirm a valid password.
3. If you enter the power-on password incorrectly, a broken key icon
displays. Try again. After three unsuccessful tries, you must turn the
computer off and on again before you can continue.
IMPORTANT:
The key icon appears only when you turn on the computer. Resetting the
system using the Ctrl +Alt+Del keys does not require entering the password.
