6.2.2 Passwords
From the User Security menu choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on password
and an administrator password. The User Security choice is on the full Setup utility menu
only.
If you set only a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to complete the
system startup and to have access to the full Setup utility menu.
An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to
the full Setup utility menu. If you set only an administrator password, you do not have to type
a password to complete the system startup, but you must type the administrator password to
access the Setup utility menu.
If you set a power-on password for a user and an administrator password for a system
administrator, you can type either password to complete the system startup. A system
administrator who types the administrator password has access to the full Setup utility menu;
the system administrator can give the user authority to set, change, and delete the power-on
password. A user who types the power-on password has access to only the limited Setup
utility menu; the user can set, change, and delete the power-on password, if the system
administrator has given the user that authority.
Power-on password
If a power-on password is set, when you turn on the server, you must type the power-on
password to complete the system startup. You can use any combination of up to seven
characters (A - Z, a - z, and 0 - 9) for the password.
If a power-on password is set, you can enable the Unattended Start mode, in which the
keyboard and mouse remain locked but the operating system can start. You can unlock the
keyboard and mouse by typing the power-on password.
If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server in any of the
following ways:
If an administrator password is set, type the administrator password at the password
prompt. Start the Setup utility and reset the power-on password.
Remove the battery from the server and then reinstall it. For instructions for removing
the battery, see “Removing the battery”.
CAUTION
Before you change any switch settings or move any jumpers, turn off the server; then,
disconnect all power cords and external cables. See the safety information. Do not change
settings or move jumpers on any system-board switch or jumper blocks that are not shown in
this document.
The default for the Password override jumper (J29) is Off.
While the server is turned off, move the jumper to pins 2 and 3 clear the power-on
password override. You can then start the Setup utility and reset the power-on password.
You do not have to return the jumper to the previous position.
The power-on password override jumper does not affect the administrator password.
