Disabling a Forgotten Password

The computer’s software security features include an administrative password and a user password, which are discussed in detail in Chapter 4, “Using the System Setup Program,” of the system User’s Guide. A password jumper on the system board enables these password features or disables them and clears any password(s) currently in use.

To disable a forgotten administrative password or user password, a trained service technician must perform the following steps:

1.Disconnect the system from its power source and remove the computer covers.

See “Removing the Computer Covers” in Chapter 7 for instructions.

CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electro- static Discharge” in the safety instructions at the front of this guide.

2.Refer to “Jumpers and Switches—A General Explanation” found earlier in this appendix for jumper information.

Figure C-1 shows the location of the CLEAR PASS- WORD switch on the system board.

3.Move the CLEAR PASSWORD switch to the On position.

4.Replace the computer cover, reconnect the com- puter to its power source, and turn it on.

The existing passwords are not disabled (erased) until the system boots with the CLEAR PASS- WORD switch in the On position. However, before you assign a new administrative and/or user pass- word, you must set the CLEAR PASSWORD switch back to the off position.

NOTE: If you assign a new administrative and/or user password with the CLEAR PASSWORD switch still on, the system disables the new password(s) the next time it boots.

5.Repeat step 1.

6.Move the CLEAR PASSWORD switch to the off posi- tion (away from the numbers).

7.Replace the computer cover, reconnect the com- puter and peripherals to their power sources, and turn them on.

8.Have the user assign a new administrative and/or user password.

To assign a new administrative password using the system setup program, see “Assigning an Adminis- trative Password” in Chapter 4 of the system User’s Guide. To assign a new administrative password using the system configuration utility, see “Security Subsystems Group” in Chapter 5 of the system User’s Guide.

To assign a new user password using the System Setup program, see “Assigning a User Password” in Chapter 4 of the system User’s Guide. To assign a new user password using the system configuration utility, see “Security Subsystems Group” in Chapter 5 of the system User’s Guide.
