Password security

The power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the workstation by requiring entry of a password
to access applications or data each time the workstation is turned on or restarted. The setup password
specifically prevents unauthorized access to the Computer Setup Utility and can also be used as an
override to the power-on password. That is, when prompted for the power-on password, entering the
setup password instead will allow access to the workstation.
A network-wide setup password can be established to enable the system administrator to log in to all
network systems to perform maintenance without having to know the power-on password.
