Clearing and Resetting System Password Settings

It may be necessary at some time to clear and reset the system password.
IMPORTANT: This method of clearing and resetting system passwords is only necessary if
the current password is not known.
Otherwise, when prompted, the password can be entered followed by a forward slash (/). This
operation removes the current password and allows one of the following to be performed:
•
Enter BIOS Setup and set the password to a new value.
•
Leave the password value blank to disable the password feature.
When the system switch position 1 is set to the ON position, the system is prepared to clear the
system password.
1. Power down the server.
2. Set the switch at position 1 to the ON position.
3. Restart the server, and wait for confirmation.
4. Power down the server.
5. Set the switch at position 1 to the default OFF position.
6. Restart the server. The password is cleared.
