Removing a Password

If you have forgotten your password and you do not want to
set a new one, there are two ways to remove the current
password:
To do either of these procedures, you must reset a jumper on
the main system board.
If you are using network server mode and you remove the
password, the computer automatically turns off network

You should disable the existing password if you want to be able
to set a new password later without having to reset a jumper.
See "Disabling an existing password," below, for instructions.
If you disable the password function, you cannot set a new
password unless you disable the existing password at that time.
If you do not want to use a password anymore, follow the
instructions under "Disabling the password function" below.
