Using The Boot Manager - Lenovo Converged HX Series Installation And Service Manual

User password
If a user password is set, when you turn on the server, you must type the user password to complete the
system startup. You can use any combination of 6 - 20 printable ASCII characters for the password.
When a user password is set, you can enable the Unattended Start mode, in which the keyboard and mouse
remain locked but the operating system can start. You can unlock the keyboard and mouse by typing the
user password.
If you forget the user password, you can regain access to the server in any of the following ways:
• If an administrator password is set, type the administrator password at the password prompt. Start the
Setup utility and reset the user password.
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 system board.
• Remove the battery from the server, wait 30 seconds, and then reinstall it.
• Change the position of the user password switch (enable switch 2 of the system board switch block (SW1)
to bypass the password check (see "System-board switches and jumpers" on page 19 for more
information).
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 "Safety" on page
iii. Do not change settings or move jumpers on any system-board switch or jumper blocks that are not
shown in this document.
The default for all of the switches on switch block SW1 is Off.
While the server is turned off, move switch 2 of the switch block SW1 to the On position to enable the user
password override. You can then start the Setup utility and reset the user password. You do not have to
return the switch to the previous position.
The user password override switch 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 Setup
utility menu. You can use any combination of 6 to 20 printable ASCII characters for the password.
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 system board.
