A backup password lets the Embedded Web Server administrator access security menus regardless of the type of security assigned. It can also be helpful if other security measures become unavailable, such as when there is a network communication problem or an authentication server fails. Notes: • In some organizations, security policies prohibit the use of a backup password. Consult your organizational security policies before deploying any security method that might compromise those policies. • The backup password is not associated with any accounts in the corporate directory. It is a password stored only on the device. Share only with users who are authorized to modify the device security settings. • The backup password should contain a minimum of eight alphanumeric characters. It must not be a variation of the user ID or a dictionary word. 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Security Setup. 2 Under the Additional Security Setup Options, click Backup Password. 3 Select Use Backup Password, and then type and retype the password to confirm it. 4 Click Submit.

Setting a backup password
Note:
This setting is available only in advanced
security devices.
A backup password lets the Embedded Web Server administrator access security menus regardless of the type
of security assigned. It can also be helpful if other security measures become unavailable, such as when there
is a network communication problem or an authentication server fails.
Notes:
In some organizations, security policies prohibit the use of a backup password. Consult your
organizational security policies before deploying any security method that might compromise those
policies.
The backup password is not associated with any accounts in the corporate directory. It is a password
stored only on the device. Share only with users who are authorized to modify the device security
settings.
The backup password should contain a minimum of eight alphanumeric characters. It must not be a
variation of the user ID or a dictionary word.
