Disabling a Forgotten Password

The system's software security features include a system password and a setup password, which are discussed in detail in "Using the System Setup Program and UEFI Boot Manager" on page 57. The password jumper enables these password features or disables them and clears any password(s) currently in use.

CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

2Open the system. See "Opening and Closing the System" on page 82.

3Move the password jumper to the "disabled" position to clear the password. See Table 7-1.

See Figure 7-1 to locate the password jumper on the system board.

4Close the system.
