Using passwords

From the System Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on
password.
If you set a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to complete
the system startup and to have access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the
password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place.
If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the blade server in
by removing the blade server battery and then reinstalling it, or by using the
power-on password override switch (see the Problem Determination and Service
Guide on the Documentation CD for instructions).
