Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program Dual Password prompt Off mode is useful for network environments that cause the server to operate unattended. If a power failure occurs, when power is restored, the server will automatically restart and resume operating in this mode, without operator intervention. Note: The power-on password prompt Off mode does not support any locally or remotely scheduled shutdowns or restarts. In the password prompt Dual mode, the startup behavior of the server depends on whether the server is started from the server power switch or by an unattended method, such as a modem or timer. If you press the power switch to start the server, the server operates the same as it does in password prompt On mode. For further information, refer to the description of password prompt On mode in this section. If you start the server by an unattended method, such as remotely over a LAN, the server operates in password prompt Off mode. For further information, refer to the description of password prompt Off mode in this section. If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can type either password at the password prompt that appears as you start your server. However, if you want to change any settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you must type your administrator password at the password prompt that appears when you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you type your power-on password at this prompt, you will be able to view limited information in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, but you will not be able to change any settings. The password does not appear on the screen as you type it. If you type the wrong password, you receive a screen message telling you so. If you type the wrong password three times, you must turn the server off and start again. When you type the correct password, the keyboard and mouse will unlock, and the server will begin normal operation. 46 Netfinity 3000 User's Handbook
