Autorun and Configuring Passwords

When an operator or manager password is configured on a switch, autorun will be disabled automatically, and a message is displayed on the screen as shown in the following example:

ProCurve# password manager

New password for manager: *****

Please retype new password for manager: *****

Autorun is disabled as operator/manager is configured.

After passwords are set, autorun can be re-enabled as needed using the autorun command.

For more information on configuring passwords, refer to the chapter on “Username and Password Security” in the Access Security Guide for your switch.
