While the server is turned off, move switch 1 on the switch block SW1 to the On
position to enable the power-on password override. You can then start the Setup
utility and reset the power-on password. You do not have to return the switch to
the previous position.
The power-on password override switch does not affect the administrator
password.
Administrator password:
This topic provides information about setting an administrator password using the
server Setup utility.
If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password for
access to the full Setup utility menu. You can use any combination of 6 to 20
printable ASCII characters for the password.
Attention: If you set an administrator password and then forget it, there is no
way to change, override, or remove it. You must replace the standard I/O book.
