Using passwords

The System Security choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility
menu. After you select this choice, you can implement two levels of password
protection: power-on password and administrator password.

Power-on password

After you set a power-on password, you can enable the unattended-start mode.
This locks the keyboard and mouse, but allows the system to start the operating
system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you enter the correct
password.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, 0–9 and blanks)
for your power-on password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place. If
you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the
server/workstation through one of the following methods:
v If an administrator password is set, enter the administrator password at the
power-on prompt. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the
power-on password.
v Change the position of the password override jumper as described in "Setting
the password override switch".
v Remove the battery and then install the battery.
Setting the password override switch: The following illustration shows the
location of the password override switch, switch 4 of switch block 1, on the system
