Dual Password Security
The computer provides two levels of password security. A supervisor password allows
access to the system’s Setup utility for system configuration. A user password allows
system boot-up only after the entry of a password.
User Password Is
This read-only field indicates whether a User Password has been set. This field can be either
“Clear” or “Set.” The default is “Clear” (no password has been set).
When both the User Password and Supervisor Password are enabled, only the Supervisor
Password gives you full access to all Setup fields.

When both the User Password and Supervisor Password are Enabled, only the Supervisor

Set User or Supervisor Password
The password fields allow you to establish a user-level password or supervisor-level
password. Once the password is established, it must be entered to access Setup during
POST.
Use the following procedure to set a password.
NOTE:
Do not create a user password that is a
subset of the supervisor password. If you do, the
system may only respond to the user password.
