HP J3178A Capabilities, also set an Operator password, To set Manager and Operator passwords

The Switch Console

Using Password Security

N o t e	If there is only a Manager password set (with no Operator password), and the
	Manager password is not entered correctly when the console session begins,
	the switch console operates on the Operator level.
	If there is both a Manager password and an Operator password, but neither is
	entered correctly, access to the console will be denied.
	If a Manager password is not set, anyone having access to the console
	interface can operate the console with full manager privileges, regardless of
	whether an Operator password is set. It is recommended that if you want
	to restrict access to the console, you should always set at least a Manager
	password. Then, if you also want to restrict access to the minimal Operator
	capabilities, also set an Operator password.
	Passwords are case-sensitive.
