An
administrator
password
is
intended
to
be
used
by
a
system
administrator;
it
limits
access
to
the
full
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu.
If
you
set
only
an
administrator
password,
you
do
not
have
to
type
a
password
to
complete
the
system
startup,
but
you
must
type
the
administrator
password
to
access
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu.
If
you
set
a
power-on
password
for
a
user
and
an
administrator
password
for
a
system
administrator,
you
can
type
either
password
to
complete
the
system
startup.
A
system
administrator
who
types
the
administrator
password
has
access
to
the
full
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu;
the
system
administrator
can
give
the
user
authority
to
set,
change,
and
delete
the
power-on
password.
A
user
who
types
the
power-on
password
has
access
to
only
the
limited
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu;
the
user
can
set,
change,
and
delete
the
power-on
password,
if
the
system
administrator
has
given
the
user
that
authority.
Power-on
password
If
a
power-on
password
is
set,
when
you
turn

the
server,
the
system
startup
will
not
be
completed
until
you
type
the
power-on
password.
You
can
use
any
combination
of
up
to
seven
characters
(A–Z,
a–z,
and
0–9)
for
the
password.
When
a
power-on
password
is
set,
you
can
enable
the
Unattended

mode,
in
which

but
the
operating
system
can
start.
You

the
keyboard
and
mouse
by
typing
the
power-on
password.

you
forget
the
power-on
password,
