IBM 206 manual Passwords, User password

Page 31

Select this choice to exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you have not saved the changes you have made in the settings, you are asked whether you want to save the changes or exit without saving them.

Passwords

From the System Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a user (power-on) password and a supervisor (administrator) password. The System Security choice is on the full Configuration/Setup menu only.

If you set only a user password, you must type the user password to complete the system startup and to have access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu.

A supervisor password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If you set only a supervisor password, you do not have to type a password to complete the system startup, but you must type the supervisor password to access the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.

If you set a user password for a user and a supervisor password for a system administrator, you can type either password to complete the system startup. A system administrator who types the supervisor password has access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu; the system administrator can give the user authority to set, change, and delete the user password. A user who types the user password has access to only the limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu; the user can set, change, and delete the user password, if the system administrator has given the user that authority.

User password

If a user password is set, when you turn on the server, the system startup will not be completed until you type the user password. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the password.

When a user 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 user password.

If you forget the user password, you can regain access to the server in any of the following ways:

vIf a supervisor password is set, type the supervisor password at the password prompt. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and reset the user password.

vRemove the server battery and then reinstall it. See the Option Installation Guide for instructions for removing the battery.

vChange the pin position of the clear CMOS (password override) jumper on the system board to bypass the user password check.

Supervisor password

If a supervisor password is set, you must type the supervisor password for access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the password. The Supervisor Password choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed.
