Setting Boot Passwords

Use the Security menu in the BIOS Setup Utility to set passwords to provide different levels of protection for
the HP Server. You can set three types of passwords: Administrator password, User password and Power-on
password. The Administrator can access and change all settings in the Setup program, while the User can
only access and modify certain items in the Main menu. When the Power-on Password option is enabled, you
need to enter a password every time you boot the workstation. Either the Administrator or User Password can
be used.
To set a password:
1. Start the Setup program.
2. Select the Security menu.
3. Select the Administrator or User password submenu.
4. Choose the Set Administrator or User Password setup item. You must enter your password twice.
5. To enable the Power-on Password, select the Enabled setup item.
6. Press Esc or select Exit Menu, then Exit Saving Changes to save your changes and exit the Setup
program.
To remove the password:
1. Follow the same procedure as to set a password.
2. Enter the existing password when prompted.
3. For the new password, leave the field blank and press Enter.
4. Press Enter again to confirm your choice.
