A password becomes effective only after the system is turned off and back on again.
Attention: If no user-defined bootlist exists and the power-on-access password has
been enabled, you are asked for the power-on-access password at startup every time
you boot your system.
Remote Mode
Remote Mode: The remote mode, when enabled, allows the system to
start from the defined boot device. This mode is ideal for network servers
and other system units that operate unattended. When the remote mode is
set, the icon label changes to Remote <On>
Note: To use the remote mode feature for booting unattended devices,
you must enable the unattended start mode. See the “System Power
Control Menu” on page 187 for instructions on enabling the unattended
start mode, which allows the system unit to turn on whenever ac power is
applied to the system (instead of having the system unit wait for the power
button to be pushed).
Privileged-Access Password
The privileged-access password protects against the unauthorized starting
of the system programs. Select the Set icon to set and verify the
privileged-access password.
When you select the Set icon, a screen with eight empty boxes displays.
Type your password in these boxes. You can use any combination of up to
eight characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) for your password. As you type a
character, a key displays in the box.
