Enter Password
Press Enter when you are finished; you must type the password again for
verification.
Verify Password
If you type the password incorrectly, press Esc and start again.
After you have entered and verified the password, the power-on password status
icon flashes and changes to the locked position to indicate that the power-on
password is installed.
If you previously had set a power-on password and want to remove it, select the
Remove icon.
Notes:
1. If you want to disable an installed power-on password (but not erase it), move
the power-on password jumper as described in the section beginning on page
1-1. Moving the jumper back to the default position re-enables the power-on
password, unless it has been removed in the System Management Services
Utilities or by removing the battery.
2. If you forget the power-on password, you can erase the password by shutting
down the server and removing the battery for at least 30 seconds. See
“Changing the Battery” on page 7-31 for details.
3. The server power cable must be disconnected before removing the battery.
A password becomes effective only after the server is turned off and back on again.
