Using passwords The System Security choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. After you select this choice, you can implement two levels of password protection: power-on password and administrator password. Power-on password After you set a power-on password, you can enable the unattended-start mode. This locks the keyboard and mouse, but allows the system to start the operating system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you enter the correct password. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and blanks) for your power-on password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place. If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server/workstation through one of the following methods: v If an administrator password is set, enter the administrator password at the power-on prompt. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the power-on password. v Change the position of the password override jumper as described in "Setting the password override switch". v Remove the battery and then install the battery. Setting the password override switch: The following illustration shows the location of the password override switch, switch 4 of switch block 1, on the system board. Configuration 31
