Using passwords

The System Security choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility
menu. After you select this choice, you can implement two levels of protection:
power-on password and administrator password.
Power-on password
After you set a power-on password, you can enable the unattended-start mode.
This locks the keyboard and mouse, but allows the system to start the operating
system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you enter the correct
password.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for
your power-on password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place. If you
forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server through one of
the following methods:
v If an administrator password is set, enter the administrator password at the
power-on prompt. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the
power-on password.
v Change the position of the password override switch as described in "Setting the
password override switch" on page 36..
v Remove the battery and then install the battery.
