6.1.1 Password Setup
The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized access to the server. Passwords can restrict entry to the
BIOS Setup utility, restrict use of the Boot Device popup menu during POST, suppress automatic USB device
re-ordering, and prevent unauthorized system power on. It is strongly recommended that an Administrator
Password be set. A system with no Administrator password set allows anyone who has access to the server
to change BIOS settings.
An Administrator password must be set in order to set the User password.
The maximum length of a password is 14 characters and can be made up of a combination of alphanumeric
(a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters and any of the following special characters:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ + = ?
Passwords are case sensitive.
