Disabling a forgotten password
The software security features of the system include a system password and a setup password. The
password jumper enables these password features or disables them and clears any password(s) currently
in use.

perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
