Dell 2161DS manual Setting Console Security, Security Dialog Box

Setting Console Security

OSCAR enables you to set security on your analog port console. You can establish a screen saver mode that engages after your console remains unused for a specified delay time. Once engaged, your console will remain locked until you press any key or move the mouse. You will then need to type in your password to continue.

Use the Security dialog box to lock your console with password protection, set or change your password and enable the screen saver.

To access the Security dialog box:

1Press <Print Screen>. The Main dialog box will appear.

2Click Setup - Security. The Security dialog box appears.

NOTE: If a password has been previously set, the user will have to enter the password before being able to access the Security dialog box.

To set or change the password:

1Single-click and press <Enter> or double-click in the New text box.

3In the Repeat box, type the password again and press <Enter>.

4Click OK if you only want to change your password, and then close the dialog box.
