To prevent accidental or unauthorized access to the IP700 Series
appliance hard disk, you can require that the user enter a password to
access the install command in boot manager. Use the passwd
command to set the password.
NOTE: The password you enter here is the password that gives you
access to the install command in boot manager, not access to IPSO.
To set a password, perform the following steps:

At the boot-manager command prompt enter:
BOOTMGR[0]> passwd
The passwd program prompts you for your current password.

If the appliance is protected by a password, enter your current
password.

verification.
