Assign an administrator password in the HP Embedded Web Server
The HP Embedded Web Server allows you to assign an administrator password so that unauthorized users cannot change product configuration settings in the HP Embedded Web Server. When the admin password is assigned and applied, you must enter the password to make any configuration changes that are done through the HP Embedded Web Server. If you change an existing password, you must first enter that password. You can also remove the password by entering the existing password and then deleting the assigned password.
Control Panel Lock
The HP Embedded Web Server allows the ability to lock certain features on the product’s control panel to prevent unauthorized use. Once the control panel lock is enabled, certain control panel configuration features cannot be changed from the control panel. The control panel lock setting itself can also be secured. This is accomplished by setting the HP Embedded Web Server administrator password. Once the HP Embedded Web Server administrator password is set, the admin password must be entered when accessing the control panel lock enable/disable setting.
