Administrator Password
The server has a password level that can be set to prevent unauthorized access to the server files. When
setting a supervisor password, you will be prompted to enter it prior to accessing the SCU. If “Password
On Boot” is enabled, you will be prompted to enter a password before the operating system boots.
Perform the following steps to set a supervisor password:
1) Turn on the server and allow the POST to complete.
If POST detects an error refer to
Chapter 4, “Troubelshooting
,” and take the appropriate steps to
correct the problem. After the problem has been resolved, restart the server.
2) Start the SCU from the MS-DOS partition or insert the SCU diskette into drive A and soft boot (reset)
the server.
3) Highlight the
Security Options Group
and then press [Enter].
4) Highlight the
Administrative Password
field and then press [Enter].
5) Select
Installed
.
6) Type in a supervisor password and then press [Enter].
To confirm, type in the supervisor password a second time and then press [Enter].

Password On Boot
field and select
Enabled

8) Exit the SCU and reboot the server so changes immediately take effect.
The computer runs the POST and then prompts for the supervisor password to set.
