Removing a Password

If you have forgotten your password and you do not want to set a new one, there are two ways to remove the current password:

LI Disable the existing password

0 Disable the password function.

To do either of these procedures, you must reset a jumper on the main system board.

Note

If you are using network server mode and you remove the password, the computer automatically turns off network server mode.

If you want to be able to set a new password later without having to change the jumper setting again, disable the existing password (not the password function). See “Disabling an existing password,” below, for instructions.

If you disable the password function, you cannot set a new password unless you perform the steps to disable the existing password at that time. If you do not want to use a password anymore, follow the instructions under “Disabling the password function” below.
