administrator password.

If you set only a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to complete the system startup
and to have access to the full Setup utility menu.
An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full 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 Setup utility menu.
If you set a power-on password for a user and an administrator password for a system administrator, you
must type the power-on password to complete the system startup. A system administrator who types the
administrator password has access to the full 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 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 on the server, you must type the power-on password to
complete the system startup. You can use any combination of 6 - 20 printable ASCII characters for the
password.
