Resetting a Lost Password

If you have forgotten the Power-on password, you can reset it by clearing the
CMOS configuration. Refer to the previous section, "Clearing the CMOS
Configuration" for instructions.
NOTE If you have forgotten the Power-on password (or the BIOS
access password), your Server will function normally, but you
will not be able to access the configuration settings in the Setup
Utility or complete the boot process if you reboot the Server.
If you have forgotten the User password, the Supervisor can reset it for you (by
clearing the Supervisor password), but if the Supervisor password has been lost or
forgotten you can only reset it by clearing the CMOS configuration. Refer to the
previous section, "Clearing the CMOS Configuration" for instructions.
