Understanding the administrator password
Important
When enhanced security is enabled, it is vital that you keep a
record of your administrator password in a secure place. If you
forget or lose the administrator password, the system board in
your server must be replaced in order to regain access to the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. For more information on
Enhanced Security, see “Enhanced security” on page 50.
Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized persons
from changing settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
When an administrator password is set, you can change settings in
the Configuration/Setup Utility program only after typing the
administrator password at the password prompt that appears when
you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several servers,
you might want to set an administrator password.
When you set an administrator password, a password prompt
appears each time you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility
program. The password does not appear on the screen as you type
it. If you type the wrong password, you receive a screen message
telling you so. If you type the wrong password three times, you
must turn the server off and start again. When you type the correct
password, the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu appears.
If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can
type either of the passwords at the password prompt that appears as
you start your server. However, if you want to change any settings in
the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you must type your
administrator password at the password prompt that appears when
you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you type
your power-on password at this prompt, you will be able to view
limited information in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, but
you will not be able to change any settings.
