Autorun and Configuring Passwords

When an operator or manager password is configured on a switch, autorun
will be disabled automatically, and a message is displayed on the screen as
shown in the following example:
ProCurve# password manager
New password for manager: *****
Please retype new password for manager: *****
Autorun is disabled as operator/manager is configured.
After passwords are set, autorun can be re-enabled as needed using the autorun
command.
