Using passwords
The System Security choice appears only on the full
Configuration/Setup Utility menu. After you select this
choice, you can implement two levels of protection:
power-on password and 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 allows the system to start the operating
system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you
enter 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. If you forget
the power-on password, you can regain access to the
server through one of the following methods:
v If an administrator password is set, enter the
administrator password at the power-on prompt. Start
the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the
power-on password.
v Change the position of the password override switch as
described in “Setting the password override switch”.
v
Remove the battery and then install the battery.
