Setting Up Security - Digital Equipment Digital Server 3220 Series System Reference Manual

Setting Up Security

The following sections describe the security features available and how to use them.
Setting Supervisor and User Passwords
Your server has password protections that can be set to prevent unauthorized
access to the BIOS Setup utility. If a supervisor password is set, the server prompts
you to enter a password before accessing the BIOS Setup utility.
If "Password On Boot" is enabled, and both the supervisor and user passwords have
been set, you need to enter either the supervisor or user password to use the server.
The following list provides more information about setting passwords.
•
You must enable the password during boot.
•
Setting the supervisor password allows you to make changes to the boot
process.
•
Setting the user password allows a lower level user to access files.
NOTE:
A supervisor password must be set before you can
set a user password. If the supervisor password is later
deleted, the user password is automatically removed.
