Setting a system password

Note the following before you define a system password:

The maximum length of password contains eight alphanumeric characters—A - Z, 0 - 9, and ‘;’ (for a French keyboard).

System passwords are case-insensitive.

Password re-try is limited to three times. If user failed to enter the correct password, the system will hang up.

To set a system password:

1.Press or to highlight a set password field, then press Enter. The password box appears.

2.Type a password then press Enter.

IMPORTANT: Be very careful when typing your password because the characters do not appear on the

screen. Only shaded blocks representing each typed character are visible.

3.Retype the password to verify the first entry, then press Enter. You will be prompted to save the new password.

4.Press Enter.

The corresponding password status field displays Set to indicate that a password has been enabled.

5.Press F10 to save the password and close the Setup Utility.
