Security Setup
ezPORT Password Support
Two Levels of Password Protection
ezPORT provides both a Supervisor and a User password. If you use both passwords, the Supervisor password must
be set first. The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time the
system boots or when ezPORT Setup is executed, using either or either the Supervisor password or User password.
The Supervisor and User passwords activate two different levels of password security. If you select password
support, you are prompted for a one to six character password. Type the password on the keyboard. The password
does not appear on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you must drain NVRAM
and reconfigure.
Remember the Password
Keep a record of the new password when the password is changed. If you forget the password, you must erase the
system configuration information in NVRAM. See (Deleting a Password) for information about erasing system
configuration information.
