To set the password override switch:
1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 45.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover. See "Removing the cover and bezel" on
page 47.
3. Change the setting of the password override switch (switch 8 on switch block 1 on
the system board) to ON.
4. Install the server cover (see "Installing the server cover and bezel" on page 60)
and connect all external cables and power cords.
Note: You can now start the Configuration/Setup utility program and change the
power-on password. If you want the server to ask for a password when you
turn on the server, set the password override switch back to the OFF position.

Administrator password

Select this choice to set an administrator password. The administrator password
provides access to all choices on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. You can
set, change, or delete both the administrator and power-on passwords, and allow a
power-on password to be changed by the user.
Attention: If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, it cannot be
overridden or removed. You must replace the system board.
The following table provides a summary of the password features.
