v Remove the battery from the server and then reinstall it. For instructions for
removing the battery, see "Removing the battery" on page 53.
v Change the position of the power-on password jumper (J65 on the I/O board) to
bypass the power-on password check.
Attention:
Before you change any switch settings or move any jumpers, turn
off the server; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables. See the
safety information that begins on page v. Do not change settings or move
jumpers on any switch or jumper blocks that are not shown in this document.
The following illustration shows the locations of the power-on password, boot
recovery, and Wake on LAN jumpers.

While the server is turned off, move the jumper on J65 from pins 1 and 2 to pins
2 and 3. You can then start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and reset the
power-on password. After you reset the password, turn off the server again and
move the jumper back to pins 1 and 2.
The power-on password jumper does not affect the administrator password.
Administrator password: If an administrator password is set, you must type the
administrator password for access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. You
can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the
password. The Administrator Password choice is on the Configuration/Setup
Utility menu only if an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is
installed.
Attention:
If you set an administrator password and then forget it, there is no way
to change, override, or remove it. You must replace the I/O board, see "Removing
the I/O board assembly" on page 68 and "Replacing the I/O board assembly" on
page 69.
