Disabling A Forgotten Password - Dell PowerEdge 6350 User Manual

If you forget your system or setup password, you cannot operate your system or
change settings in the System Setup program, respectively, until a trained service
technician opens the computer chassis, changes the password jumper setting to dis-
able the passwords, and erases the existing passwords. This procedure is described
in "Disabling a Forgotten Password" in Appendix B of the Installation and Trouble-
shooting Guide.
If an error message appears on your monitor screen while the system is booting,
make a note of the message. Then, before entering the System Setup program, refer
to "System Beep Codes" and "System Messages" in Chapter 3 of the Installation
and Troubleshooting Guide for an explanation of the message and suggestions for cor-
recting any errors. (An exception to this routine: It is normal to receive an error
message the first time you boot your system after installing a memory upgrade. In
that situation, do not refer to "System Beep Codes" and "System Messages."
Instead, follow the instructions in "Performing a Memory Upgrade" in Chapter 8 of
the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide .)
