3. Select Administrator Password. 4. Select Delete Administrator Password and follow the instructions on the screen. 5. Press Esc until you return to the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu. 6.

To exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility program, press Esc and follow the instructions on the screen. Erasing a lost or forgotten administrator password: This section applies to lost or forgotten administrator passwords that are not protected by enhanced security. For information on lost or forgotten passwords that are protected by enhanced security, refer to "Erasing a lost or forgotten administrator password protected by enhanced security" on page 46. If you have lost or forgotten your administrator password and enhanced security is disabled, you must remove the server cover and move the CMOS Clear jumper (also referred to as the password jumper) on the system board in order to erase the password so that you can regain access to the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See "Erasing lost or forgotten passwords" on page 122 for the procedure to erase the password. Important If you move the CMOS Clear jumper, you will lose all setup data stored in the server, and you will need to reconfigure the server. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to reconfigure the server and to set a new password. Enhanced security: By default, your administrator password is stored in CMOS memory. CMOS memory is battery-powered memory that stores your configuration, setup, and security settings. The information stored in CMOS remains there for the life of the battery, as long as the battery is not removed. Your server has an enhanced security feature that provides extra protection for your administrator password, as well as your startup (boot) sequence settings. With enhanced security, your administrator password and startup sequence are stored in a highly-protected, nonvolatile, security EEPROM module that is separate from CMOS memory and the EEPROM module that stores system programs. When your administrator password and startup sequence are locked in the security EEPROM, they remain intact even if the battery in your server expires or is removed by someone.

Erasing a lost or forgotten administrator
password:
This section applies to lost or forgotten
administrator passwords that are
not
protected by
enhanced security.
For information on lost or forgotten
passwords that
are
protected by enhanced security, refer
to “Erasing a lost or forgotten administrator password
protected by enhanced security” on page
46.
If you have lost or forgotten your administrator password
and enhanced security is disabled, you must remove the
server cover and move the CMOS Clear jumper (also
referred to as the
password
jumper) on the system board
in order to erase the password so that you can regain
access to the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
See “Erasing lost or forgotten passwords” on page
122 for
the procedure to erase the password.
Important
If you move the CMOS Clear jumper, you will lose all
setup data stored in the server, and you will need to
reconfigure the server.
Use the Configuration/Setup
Utility program to reconfigure the server and to set a
new password.
Enhanced security:
By default, your administrator
password is stored in CMOS memory.
CMOS memory is
battery-powered memory that stores your configuration,
setup, and security settings.
The information stored in
CMOS remains there for the life of the battery, as long as
the battery is not removed.
Your server has an enhanced security feature that
provides extra protection for your administrator password,
as well as your startup (boot) sequence settings.
With
enhanced security, your administrator password and
startup sequence are stored in a highly-protected,
nonvolatile, security EEPROM module that is separate
from CMOS memory and the EEPROM module that stores
system programs.
When your administrator password and
startup sequence are locked in the security EEPROM, they
remain intact even if the battery in your server expires or is
removed by someone.
