Using the System Setup Program
As you press each character key (or the spacebar for a blank space), a placeholder appears in the field.
The password assignment is not case-sensitive. However, certain key combinations are not valid. If you enter
one of these combinations, the system beeps. To erase a character when entering your password, press
<Backspace> or the left-arrow key.
After you verify the password, the Setup Password setting changes to Enabled . The next time you enter the
System Setup program, the system prompts you for the setup password.
A change to the Setup Password option becomes effective immediately (restarting the system is not
required).
Operating With a Setup Password Enabled
If Setup Password is set to Enabled , you must enter the correct setup password before you can modify most
of the System Setup options. When you start the System Setup program, the program prompts you to enter
a password.
If you do not enter the correct password in three attempts, the system lets you view, but not modify, the
System Setup screens—with the following exception: If
System Password is not set to Enabled and is not
locked through the Password Status option, you can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable
or change an existing system password).
NOTE:
You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the Setup Password option to protect the
system password from unauthorized changes.
Deleting or Changing an Existing Setup Password
1
Enter the System Setup program and select the System Security option.
2
Highlight the Setup Password option, press <Enter> to access the setup password window, and press
<Enter> twice to clear the existing setup password.
The setting changes to Not Enabled .

page 39.
