Dual In the password prompt Dual mode, the startup behavior of the server depends on whether the computer is started from the computer power switch or by an unattended method, such as a modem or timer. If you start the server by using the power switch, the computer operates the same as it does in password prompt On mode. Refer to page 37 for further information. If the server is started by an unattended method, such as remotely over a LAN, the server operates the same as it does in password prompt Off mode. Refer to page 37 for further information. 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. Setting and changing a power-on password: Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to set or change a power-on password. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) for this password. Important Keep a record of your power-on password in a secure place. When a power-on password has been set, you cannot activate the keyboard and mouse without first using the password. If you lose or forget your password, you cannot change or delete it without removing the server cover and moving a jumper on the system board. Refer to "Erasing a lost or forgotten administrator password" on page 43 for further information. Netfinity 8655 - Type 8655 39

method, such as a modem or timer.
If you start the server by using the power
switch, the computer operates the same as it
does in password prompt On mode.

If the server is started by an unattended
method, such as remotely over a LAN, the
server operates the same as it does in
password prompt Off mode.
Refer to page

If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you
can type either password at the password prompt

However, if you want to
change any settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility
