restart and resume operating in this mode when power is restored, without operator intervention. If you enter a password, the keyboard will unlock, but the mouse connected to the mouse port will remain disabled. 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. Dual 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. If you start the server by an unattended method, such as remotely over a LAN, the server operates in password prompt Off mode. If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can type either password at the password prompt that appears as you start the server. However, if you want to change any settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you must type the administrator password at the password prompt that appears when you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you type the 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 power 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. Setting and changing a power-on password : Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to set or change a power-on password. IBM Netfinity 3000 - Type 8476 29
