Configuring MFP Security Settings The Security category includes many advanced security settings and password settings. If you are attempting to configure a setting that is in the Security category and not listed in this section, you should check the chapter on Advanced Security for multiple MFPs. To set the basic required settings in this category follow the steps in the sections below. Bootloader Password The Bootloader password protects features, such as the MFP reset options that are available on the MFP control panel. These features are not commonly known, but they can severely affect the MFPs if they are executed improperly. The Bootloader password is not configured by default. CAUTION: Be very careful to remember the bootloader password that you provide. Once you configure the bootloader password, the bootloader features will be inaccessible permanently without it. The only way to restore the default setting and clear the password is to provide the correct password and set it with a blank password. 1. On the Config tab under the Security category page, select the Bootloader Password option (Figure 31) Figure 31: The Bootloader Password option. 2. Type a password of 9 to 16 numeric digits in the New Password field, and repeat it exactly in the Repeat Password field. Note: To reset (clear) this password, click to select Bootloader Password, type the correct current password, and leave the New Password and Repeat Password fields blank. Then click Configure, and the bootloader password will be cleared in the MFPs. Chapter 3 HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet MFP Security Checklist 37
