When working with the IBM Setup Utility program menu, you must use the keyboard. The keys used to perform various tasks are displayed at the bottom of each screen.

Exiting from the IBM Setup Utility program

When you finish viewing or changing settings, press Esc to return to the IBM Setup Utility program menu (you might have to press Esc several times). If you want to save the new settings, select Save Settings or Save and exit the Setup Utility. Otherwise, your changes will not be saved.

Using passwords

You can use passwords to provide security for your computer and data. There are two kinds of passwords: a user password and an administrator password. You do not have to set a password of either type to use your computer. However, if you decide to set either one, read the following sections.

User password

The user password feature deters unauthorized persons from gaining access to your computer.

Administrator password

Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized persons from changing configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several computers, you might want to set an administrator password.

After you set an administrator password, a password prompt is displayed each time you try to access the IBM Setup Utility program. If you type the wrong password, you will see an error message. If you type the wrong password three times, you must turn the computer off and start again.

If both the user and administrator passwords are set, you can type either password. However, to change any configuration settings, you must use your administrator password.

Setting, changing, and deleting a password

To set, change, or delete a password, do the following:

Note: A password can be any combination of up to seven characters (A- Z, a-z, and 0-9).

1.Start the IBM Setup Utility program (see “Starting the IBM Setup Utility program” on page 21).

2.From the IBM Setup Utility program menu, select Security → Set Passwords. Read the information displayed on the right side of the screen.
