Chapter 5 Security
Two Levels of Password Protection
Security Setup provides both a Supervisor and a User password. If you use both passwords, the Supervisor
password must be set first.
The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time the system boots or when
Setup is executed, using either or either the Supervisor password or User password.
The Supervisor and User passwords activate two different levels of password security. If you select
password support, you are prompted for a 1-20 character password. Type the password on the keyboard.
The password does not appear on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you
must drain NVRAM and reconfigure.
Remember the Password
Keep a record of the new password when the password is changed. If you forget the password, you must
erase the system configuration information in NVRAM. See (Deleting a Password) for information about
erasing system configuration information.
