Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program
Setting a Power-on Password
When a power-on password is set, you must enter a password each
time you start the system.
Attention:
If you forget the power-on password, and an
administrator password has been set, use the administrator
password at the power-on prompt. Then, start the
Configuration/Setup utility program and change the power-on
password.
If a power-on password is set and then forgotten, and no
administrator password is set, then, you must move the password
jumper to clear the password and regain access to the
Configuration/Setup utility program. This procedure erases your
current server configuration (see “Removing a Password” on
page 108 for more information). You must then reconfigure your
server.
To set a power-on password:
1. Select Power-on Password on the System Security menu; then,
press Enter.
The Power-on Password menu appears.
2. Type the password in the Enter Power-on Password data field.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z,
a–z, and 0–9) for your power-on password. Keep a record of
your password in a secure place.
3. Move the cursor to the Enter Power-on Password Again data
field and type the password again.
4. Select Set or Change Power-on Password to save the new
password; then, press Enter.
Note: A message appears if the two passwords do not match.
If this happens, press Esc to cancel the request and return
to the System Security menu.
