A note about firmware passwords
Through Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager Lite or the text-based interface to system configuration
(the Setup Utility), you can set the following passwords:
– Power-on password.
If a power-on password is set, when you turn on the server, the system will not complete startup until
you type the power-on password. If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the
server using one of the following methods:
– If an administrator password is set, restart the server and type the administrator password at the
prompt to start Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager Lite. Then, click UEFI setup ➙ User Security
➙ Clear Power-On Password to reset the password.
– Power off the server and remove the battery. Wait 30 seconds and reinstall the battery.
– Toggle switch 7 on switch block SW2 to override the power-on password. See "I/O tray switches"
on page 35 for more information about switch block SW2 and switch 7.
– Administrator password.
If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password to gain access to the full
functionality of Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager Lite or the Setup Utility.
Important: If you forget the administrator password, there is no way to change, override, or remove it.
The only alternative is to replace the I/O tray.
