Explanation
The set secure command enables secure mode. If no password has been set, you are
prompted to set the password. Once you set a password and enter the set secure command,
secure mode is in effect immediately and only the continue, boot (using the stored
parameters), and login commands can be performed.
The syntax is: set secure
The console is put into secure mode, and then the operator attempts to boot the
operating system with command-line parameters. A message is displayed indicating
that boot parameters are not allowed when the system is in secure mode.
The login command is entered to turn off security features for the current console
session. After successfully logging in, the operator enters a boot command with
command-line parameters.
