After setting a power-on password, you can enable the

mouse, but allows the server to start the operating system.
The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you enter the
correct password.
To set, change, or delete a password:
1. Select System Security.
2. Select the password that you want to change.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
After you have set a power-on or administrator password,
you must enter the password whenever you turn on the
server. (The passwords do not appear on the screen as
