Using passwords
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the
power-on password or the administrator password. When you have set one or
both of the passwords, record them and keep them in a secure place.
If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can type either
password at the password prompt that appears as you start your computer.
However, if you want to change the settings in the Configuration/Setup, you must
type the administrator password to access the full configuration menus. If you type
the power-on password, you can only view limited information in the
Configuration/Setup program.
