Administrator Password
Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized persons from changing
settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When an administrator
password is set, you can change settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program
only after typing the administrator password at the password prompt that appears
when you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several computers, you might
want to set an administrator password.
When you set an administrator password, a password prompt appears each time
you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. The password does not
appear on the screen as you type it. If you type the wrong password, you receive a
screen message telling you so. If you type the wrong password three times, you
must turn off the computer and start again. When you type the correct password,
the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu appears.
If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can type either of the
passwords at the password prompt that appears as you start your computer. However,
if you want to change any settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you
must type your administrator password at the password prompt that appears when
you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you type your power-on
password at this prompt, you will be able to view limited information in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, but you will not be able to change any
settings.
