Deleting a Setup Password
To delete the Setup Password:
1. Turn on the workstation.
2. When the cursor appears in the upper-right corner of the screen, press
F10.
3. When the key icon (
) appears, type your current password followed
by a slash (/) or alternate delimiter character as shown:
current password/
NOTE
: Refer to the “National Keyboard Delimiter Characters” section in this
chapter for information about alternate delimiter characters.
Completing this procedure deletes the password until you establish a new one
through Security Management.
NOTE
: The Setup Password may also be deleted by using the Computer
Setup utility. Follow the “Establishing a Setup Password” procedure. Locate
the Setup Password option and follow the instructions to delete the Setup
Password. The Setup utility will provide an option to disable the Setup
Password; disabling the Setup Password is the same as deleting it.
Clearing a Setup Password
If you forget your Setup Password, you cannot use the Computer Setup utility
to change the configuration settings. You may view the current settings, but you
may not change them unless you know the Setup Password.
To clear the Setup Password:
1. Turn off the workstation.
2. Open the front bezel.
3. Remove the small access panel to access the expansion cage.
