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. The
Supervisor Password choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an
optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed.
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 (JBAT1) on the system board to bypass the user or supervisor
password check. This enables you to reset these passwords. The jumper location is
shown in the following illustration.
