Security
User Password
You do not need to set a user password, but a user password helps
to protect the information that you store in your server. It allows
you to enable secure mode and write-protect the boot sector of a
hard disk drive. Write-protecting the boot sector is a form of virus
protection.
If a user password is set and then forgotten, you can clear the
password from memory using a system-board configuration switch.
Refer to “Clearing All Passwords (Switch S6A1-2)” on page 293 for
more information.
To set a user password in the Setup program:
1. Start the Setup program.
2. Select Set User Password on the Security Menu screen.
The Set User Password screen appears.
3. Type the password in the Enter New Password data field.
4. Press Enter.
The cursor moves to the Confirm New Password data field.
5. To verify that you typed the new password correctly, type the
password in the Confirm New Password data field. If you did
not type the correct password, you must re-enter the password
in the Enter New Password data field. Return to step 3.
6. If you typed the correct password, press Enter to save it.
Note: To change an existing user password, follow steps 1
through 6.
The password becomes effective immediately after you save it.
