Password Policy; Network Setup - Lenovo ThinkCentre M91p Configuration Manual

Password Policy

The Password Policy option specifies when you can change the MEBx password through the network
interface.
The Intel MEBx password is the password entered by the user after the user presses Ctrl+P. The network
password is the password entered by the user when the user is accessing an Intel ME enabled computer
through the network.
Note: By default, the two passwords are the same until the network password is changed through the
network. Once changed over the network, the network password will always be kept separate from the local
Intel MEBX password.
Select Password Policy and press Enter, the following three options will be displayed.
