If you forget your system or setup password, you cannot operate your system or change settings in the System Setup program until you remove the computer cover, change the password jumper setting to disable the passwords, and erase the existing passwords. To disable a forgotten password, perform the following steps: See Figure 6-6 for the location of the password jumper (labeled "PASSWD") on the system board. Refer to "Jumpers and Switches-A General Explanation" in Appendix B of the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for information about the system's jumpers. Booting your system with the PASSWD jumper plug removed erases the existing password(s). NOTE: Before you assign a new system and/or setup password, you must replace the PASSWD jumper plug. Booting with the PASSWD jumper installed reenables the password feature. When you enter the System Setup program, both password categories appear as Not Enabled, meaning that the password feature is enabled but that no password has been assigned. To assign a new system password, see "Assigning a System Password" found earlier in this chapter. To assign a new setup password, see "Assigning a Setup Password" found earlier in this chapter. 4-16 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide
