Using Your System Password To Secure Your System

NOTE: If you have assigned a setup password, the system accepts your setup password as an

alternate system password.

Turn on or reboot your system.

Type your password and press <Enter>.

When Password Status is Locked, type the password and press <Enter> when prompted at reboot.

If an incorrect system password is entered, the system displays a message and prompts you to re-enter

your password. You have three attempts to enter the correct password. After the third unsuccessful

attempt, the system displays an error message that the system has halted and must be powered down.

Even after you shut down and restart the system, the error message is displayed until the correct

password is entered.

NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the System Password and

Setup Password options to protect your system from unauthorized changes.

Operating With A Setup Password Enabled

If Setup Password is Enabled, enter the correct setup password before modifying most of the System

Setup options.

If you do not enter the correct password in three attempts, the system displays the message

Invalid Password! Number of unsuccessful password attempts: <x> System Halted!

Must power down.

Even after you shut down and restart the system, the error message is displayed until the correct

password is entered. The following options are exceptions:

•

If System Password is not Enabled and is not locked through the Password Status option, you can

assign a system password.

•

You cannot disable or change an existing system password.

NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the Setup Password option to

protect the system password from unauthorized changes.
