Disabling Password Recovery Capability; Setting The Operating Mode - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Disabling password recovery capability

Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from
BootWare menus.
If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration without
authentication to configure new passwords.
If password recovery capability is disabled, console users must restore the factory-default configuration
before they can configure new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes the
next-startup configuration files.
To enhance system security, disable password recovery capability.
Availability of BootWare menu options varies with the password recovery capability setting. For more
information, see the release notes.
