password, you do not have to type a password to complete the system startup, but you must type the supervisor password to access the Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If you set a user password for a user and a supervisor password for a system administrator, you can type either password to complete the system startup. A system administrator who types the supervisor password has access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu; the system administrator can give the user authority to set, change, and delete the user password. A user who types the user password has access to only the limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu; the user can set, change, and delete the user password, if the system administrator has given the user that authority. User password If a user (power-on) password is set, when you turn on the server, the system startup will not be completed until you type the user password. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) for the password. When a user password is set, you can enable the Unattended Start mode, in which the keyboard and mouse remain locked but the operating system can start. You can unlock the keyboard and mouse by typing the user password. When a user password is set, POST is not completed until you type the password. If you forget the user password, you can regain access to the server in any of the following ways: v If a supervisor password is set, type the supervisor password at the password prompt (see "Supervisor password"). Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and reset the user password. v Remove the server battery and then reinstall it. See the Option Installation Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for instructions for removing the battery. v Change the position of the clear CMOS (password override) jumper on the system board to bypass the user password check. See "Resetting passwords" for additional information. Supervisor password If a supervisor (administrator) password is set, you must type the supervisor password for access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) for the password. If you forget the supervisor password, you can reset it after you change the position of the clear CMOS jumper. See "Resetting passwords" for additional information. Resetting passwords If you forget the user or supervisor password, you can change the position of the clear CMOS jumper on the system board to bypass the user or supervisor password check. This enables you to reset these passwords. The jumper location is Chapter 2. Configuring the server 17
