Set Power On Password:
information stored in your server. You can use any combination of up to eight
characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your password. The password you type is not
displayed on the screen. Press Enter when you are finished; you must type the
password again for verification.
If you previously had set a power-on password and wanted to remove it, select
Remove Power-On Password.
Notes:
1. If you want to disable an installed power-on password (but not erase it) move the
power-on password jumper as described in "Disabling the Power-On Password"
in the User's Guide. Moving the jumper back to the default position re-enables
the power-on password, unless it has been removed in the System Management
Services Utilities or by removing the battery.
2. If you forget your password, you can erase the password by shutting down the
server and removing the battery for at least 30 seconds. See "Changing the
Battery" on page 7-31 for details.
3. The server power cable must be disconnected before removing the battery.
A password becomes effective only after the server is turned off and back on.
