Security Screen
This section describes the two access modes that can be set using the options
found on the Security screen, and then describes the Security screen options
themselves.
Administrative and User Access Modes
The options on the Security screen menu make it possible to restrict access to
the Setup program by enabling you to set passwords for two different access
modes: Administrative mode and User mode.
In general, Administrative mode has full access to the Setup options,
whereas User mode has restricted access to the options. Thus, by setting
separate Administrative and User passwords, a system administrator can
limit who can change critical Setup values. The actual limitations depend on
whether either the Administrative or User passwords or both are set. (See
the table below for a description of how the passwords actually work
together.)
To limit access to who can boot the system, set the User password. This is
the password that the system asks for before booting. If only the
Administrative password is set, the system boots up without asking for a
password. If both passwords are set, you can enter either password to boot
the system.
The following table shows the effects of setting the Administrative and User
passwords. (The table is for reference only, and is not shown on the Security
screen.) In the table, the statement “Can change a limited number of
options” means you can change the system date and time, the power
management hot key, the User password, the security hot key, and
unattended start.
