4350 Systems User±s Guide
When a system password is assigned,
System Password
is
Enabled
. When the sys-
tem password feature is disabled by a jumper setting on the system board, the status
shown is
Disabled by Jumper
.
You cannot change or enter a new system pass-
word 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), the status shown for
System Password
is
Not Enabled
.
Only when
System Password
is set to
Not Enabled
can you assign
a system password
, using the following procedure:
1.
Verify that
Password Status
is set to
Unlocked
.
For instructions on changing the setting for
Password Status
, see ²Password
Status³ found earlier in this chapter.
2.
Highlight
System Password
, and then press the left- or right-arrow key.
The heading changes to
Enter Password
, followed by an empty seven-character
field in square brackets.
3.
Type your new system password.
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 place-
holder appears in the field.
The password assignment operation recognizes keys by their location on the key-
board, 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 <Backspace> key
or the left-arrow key.
NOTE: To escape from the field without assigning a system password, press the
<Tab> key or the <Shift><Tab> key combination to move to another field, or
press the <Esc> key at any time prior to completing step 5.
4.
Press <Enter>.
If the new system password is less than seven characters, the whole field fills
with placeholders. Then the category heading changes to
Verify Password
, fol-
lowed by another empty seven-character field in square brackets.
5.
To confirm your password, type it a second time and press <Enter>.
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, how-
ever, that password protection does not take effect until you reboot the system
by turning the system off and then on again.
