Bypassing an unknown power-on
password:
When a power-on password is set, POST
does not complete until you enter the password. If you
forget the power-on password, you can regain access to
the server through either of the following methods:
Ÿ
Enter the administrator password at the power-on
prompt, if an administrator password has been set.
(If necessary, see “Using the administrator password
menu” on page 96 for details.) Start the
Configuration/Setup utility programs and change the
power-on password. See “Using the power-on
password menu” on page 95.
Ÿ
Change the position of the jumper on J24 as
described in Table 13 on page 257 to bypass the
power-on password check. You can then start the
Configuration/Setup utility programs and change the
power-on password. See “Using the power-on
password menu” on page 95.
