3.2.6 System Passwords
There are three important passwords for the RapidPrint 500: the privileged password, the login
password, and the maintenance password. All three are discussed in the following sections.
3.2.6.1 Privileged Password
Changing any server or port setting (and issuing certain other commands) requires being the priv-
ileged user. When using EZCon, you will be prompted for the privileged password when it is
needed. If you are not using EZCon, you need to enter the Set Privileged command at the Local>
prompt to become the privileged user. The default privileged password for the RapidPrint 500 is
system
.
Figure 3-8: Set Privileged Command
If you made a Telnet connection, the prompt will change to reflect privileged user status. If
another user is currently logged into the RapidPrint 500 as the privileged user, you can use the Set
Privileged Override
command to forcibly become the privileged user.
To change the privileged password, use the Set/Define Server Privileged Password command
shown in Figure 3-9 to enter a new password of up to six alphanumeric characters. It is not neces-
sary to enclose the password string in quotes; the privileged password is not case-sensitive.

NOTE: You can abort any password-entering process by pressing Ctrl-Z at the password prompt.
