Password Problems

The only way to resolve the issue of a forgotten Supervisor password is to clear the password by using the appropriate dipswitch on the system board. Refer to the appropriate section in this manual for the location of the password dipswitch..

Supervisor Password

1.Power off the HP Server. Remove the covers and locate the password dipswitch and move to the opposite position.

2.Power on the HP Server. When the memory count appears on the screen, power off the HP Server.

3.Move the password dipswitch back to the original position.

4.Power on the HP Server. The system BIOS Setup Utility will allow access to it now without having to enter any password.

5.A new Supervisor password can now be set from the system BIOS Setup Utility.

User Password

If you need to reset the User password and you know the Administrator password, perform the following steps:

1.Restart the HP Server.

2.During the boot process, press F2 to start the system BIOS Setup Utility.

3.Enter the Administrator password and once in the Setup Utility, go to the Security menu.

4.Scroll to the User Password field, and press ENTER on SET USER PASSWORD.

5.Enter the Administrator password as the old/current password and press ENTER.

6.Enter the new User password and press ENTER.

7.Reconfirm the new User password and press ENTER. This sets a new User password.

8.Exit out of the Setup Utility and save the changes to save the new password.

NOTE

If you have forgotten the Supervisor or the User, your HP Server will function normally,

 

but you will not be able to access the system BIOS Setup Utility until the password

 

dipswitch is moved and reset.

 

 

Clearing the BIOS Configuration

NOTE

It is recommended that the system’s setup and configuration settings be noted before

 

clearing the BIOS configuration as this will reset all settings back to the default.

 

 

The HP Server tc2110 system BIOS configuration (CMOS) may need to be cleared if the configuration has become corrupt or if incorrect settings were made in the BIOS Setup Utility.
