Using passwords
The System Security choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility
menu. After you select this choice, you can set a power-on password or an
administrator password.
Power-on password:
After you set a power-on password, you can enable the
unattended-start mode. This locks the keyboard and mouse but enables the system to
start the operating system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you type the
correct password.
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. When a
power-on password is set, POST does not complete until you type the password. If
you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server through one of
the following methods:
• If an administrator password is set, type the administrator password at the power-
on prompt. (If necessary, see “Administrator password:” on page 20 for details.)
Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the power-on password.
• Remove the battery and then reinstall the battery (see "Replacing the battery" in
the Option Installation Guide on the IBM Documentation CD for more information).
• Move the jumper on J20 to positions 2 and 3; then, restart the server. This will
remove the power-on password. Move the jumper on J20 to positions 1 and 2;
then, restart the server and start the Configuration/Setup Utility program to
change the power-on password.
