Administrator Password
If an Administrator Password was established through the System
Configuration Utility, configuration changes cannot be made unless the
Administrator Password is entered. When you start the System Configuration
Utility, the Administrator Password screen appears. Changes to the system
configuration will not be allowed until the correct password is entered.

configuration. Refer to “Clearing the Password” discussed later in this section for more
information.
