Passwords Run the diagnostic program on the server to get more information about any error codes that might occur. See the Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the IBM Documentation CD for instructions. Eserver v Save Settings Select this choice to save the changes you have made in the settings. v Restore Settings Select this choice to cancel the changes you have made in the settings and restore the previous settings. v Load Default Settings Select this choice to cancel the changes you have made in the settings and restore the factory settings. v Exit Setup Select this choice to exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you have not saved the changes you have made in the settings, you are asked whether you want to save the changes or exit without saving them. From the System Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a user (power-on) password and a supervisor (administrator) password. The supervisor password is available only if the optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed in your server. The System Security choice is on the full Configuration/Setup menu only. If you set only a user password, you must type the user password to complete the system startup, and you have access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. A supervisor password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If you set only a supervisor 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 power-on 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: Chapter 2. Configuring the server 15

has
access
to
only
the
limited
