System security: To control access to the information in the server databases, you can implement two levels of password protection. Implementing these security measures helps you to ensure the integrity of the data and programs that are stored in the server. After you set a power-on password, you can enable the unattended-start mode. This locks the keyboard and mouse, but allows the system to start the operating system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you enter the correct password. The System Security choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup menu. To set, change, or delete a password: 1. Select System Security. 2. Select the password that you want to change. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen. After you set a power-on or administrator password, you must enter the password when you turn on the server. (The passwords do not appear on the screen as you type them.)
