Dell 4350 manual

When a system password is assigned, System Password is Enabled. When the sys- tem password feature is disabled by a jumper setting on the system board, the status shown is Disabled by Jumper. You cannot change or enter a new system pass- word if either of these options is displayed.

When no system password is assigned and the password jumper on the system board is in the enabled position (its default), the status shown for System Password is Not Enabled. Only when System Password is set to Not Enabled can you assign a system password, using the following procedure:

1.Verify that Password Status is set to Unlocked.

For instructions on changing the setting for Password Status, see “Password Status” found earlier in this chapter.

2.Highlight System Password, and then press the left- or right-arrow key.

The heading changes to Enter Password, followed by an empty seven-character field in square brackets.

3.Type your new system password.

You can use up to seven characters in your password.

As you press each character key (or the spacebar key for a blank space), a place- holder appears in the field.

The password assignment operation recognizes keys by their location on the key- board, without distinguishing between lowercase and uppercase characters. For example, if you have an M in your password, the system recognizes either M or m as correct.

Certain key combinations are not valid. If you enter one of these combinations, the speaker emits a beep.

To erase a character when entering your password, press the <Backspace> key or the left-arrow key.

NOTE: To escape from the field without assigning a system password, press the <Tab> key or the <Shift><Tab> key combination to move to another field, or press the <Esc> key at any time prior to completing step 5.

4.Press <Enter>.

If the new system password is less than seven characters, the whole field fills with placeholders. Then the category heading changes to Verify Password, fol- lowed by another empty seven-character field in square brackets.

5.To confirm your password, type it a second time and press <Enter>.

The password setting changes to Enabled. Your system password is now set; you can exit the System Setup program and begin using your system. Note, how- ever, that password protection does not take effect until you reboot the system by turning the system off and then on again.
