Initial Options with a Console Password Set
If a console password is set then the initial options that appear when NetDefendOS loading is
interrupted with a key press are shown below.
The 1. Start firewall option re-continues the interrupted NetDefendOS startup process. If the 2.
Login option is chosen, the console password must be entered and the full boot menu described
above is entered.
Removing the Console Password
Once the console password is set it can be removed by selecting the Set console password option in
the boot menu and entering nothing as the password and just pressing the Enter key to the prompt.
The Console Password is Only for the Console
The password set for the console is not connected to the management username/password
combinations used for administrator access through a web browser. It is valid only for console
access.
