Security
Your NEC Versa 5000 supports a password for system security. Using the Security screen,
you can require that a password be entered at each startup or boot.
You are not prompted to enter a password until you set an initial password. Your system is
not protected until you set a password.
NOTE
If Supervisor and User passwords are both im-
plemented, the user level cannot access the diskette
drive.
Once you set a password, you must enter it before your system will boot up. This feature
allows only an authorized user to access your system, including the Setup program where
you can set or change system parameters.
Set an initial password as follows.
1.
Select Security from the menu bar.
2.
Open the Set Supervisor Password screen by pressing
Enter
.
3.
In the “Enter New Password” field, enter a password up to eight characters long.
Press
Enter
on the keyboard.
4.
Reenter your password as prompted for verification. Press
Enter
and write your
password down and keep it in a secure place in case you forget it.
A dialog box notifies you that changes have been saved. Press
Enter
to continue. The
“Supervisor Password is” field changes to Enabled. This password keeps anyone
without the password from making changes in Setup.
