Passwords in the Security menu, you can implement either user password protection
or administrator password protection.
Adapter ROM Security: Set the field for this choice to Yes to lock the keyboard
during adapter ROM initialization. Use this setting with an administrator password to
prevent the use of adapter ROM based utilities.
Security Profile by Device: Select this menu choice to control the level of security
for bootable devices.
Remote Administration: Select this choice to enable Remote Administration and
Network Boot Integrity Services (BIS) protocol. Enable Remote Administration to run
utilities, such as the POST/BIOS Update Utility, without having to type an
administrator password.
Select whether to use the network Boot Integrity Services (BIS) protocol prior to
startup from the network. Before allowing a network startup, BIS ensures that the
startup image is valid and is authorized for your computer.
Set Passwords: Select this choice to set user and administrator passwords and to
set password protocols for updating the BIOS code and authorizing password
changes.
User password: After you set a user password, you can enable the unattended-start
mode. This locks the keyboard and mouse, but enables the computer to start the
operating system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you type the correct
password.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9, and blanks)
for your user password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place. If you
forget the user password, you can regain access to the computer through one of the
following methods:
•

•
Administrator password: Select this choice to set an administrator password. The
administrator password provides access to all choices on the IBM Setup Utility main
menu. You can set, change, or delete both the administrator and user passwords and
enable a user to change the user password.
Attention: If you set an administrator password and then forget it, you cannot
override or remove it. You must replace the system board.
