on the system board, the option shown is Disabled by Jumper. You cannot change or enter a new system password if either of these options is displayed. When no system password is assigned and the password jumper on the system board is in the enabled position (its default setting), the option shown for the System Password category is Not Enabled. Only when this category is set to Not Enabled can you assign a system password, using the following procedure: For instructions on changing the setting for Password Status, see "Password Status" found earlier in this chapter. The category heading changes to Enter Password, followed by an empty sevencharacter field in square brackets. You can use up to seven characters in your password. As you press each character key (or the spacebar key for a blank space), a placeholder appears in the field. The password assignment operation recognizes keys by their location on the keyboard, without distinguishing between lowercase and uppercase characters. For example, if you have an M in your password, the system recognizes either M or m as correct. Certain key combinations are not valid. If you enter one of these combinations, the speaker emits a beep. To erase a character when entering your password, press the key or the left-arrow key. NOTE: To escape from the field without assigning a system password, press the key or the key combination to move to another field, or press the key at any time prior to completing step 5. If the new system password is less than seven characters, the whole field fills with placeholders. Then the category heading changes to Verify Password, followed by another empty seven-character field in square brackets. The password setting changes to Enabled. Your system password is now set; you can exit the System Setup program and begin using your system. Note, however, that password protection does not take effect until you reboot the system by pressing the reset button or by turning the system off and then on again. 4-12 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide
