Passwords
From the System Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a user
(power-on) password and an administrator password. The System Security choice
is on the full Configuration/Setup menu only.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the
user password or the administrator password.
If you set both a user password and an administrator password, you can type either
password at the password prompt that appears as you start the computer. However,
if you want to change the settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you
must type the administrator password to access the full Configuration/Setup Utility
menu. If you type the user password, you have access to only the limited
Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
Keep a record of your password in a secure place. If you forget the user or
administrator password, you can regain access to the computer through one of the
following methods:
