GAdditional Password Security and Resetting CMOS

This workstation supports security password features, which can be established through the Computer Setup Security menu. These features are:

setup password

power-on password

When both passwords are set, the setup password can also be used in place of the power-on password as an override to log in to the workstation. This is a useful feature for a network administrator.

If you forget the password for the computer, there are two methods for clearing that password so you can gain access to the information on the workstation.

resetting the password jumper

using the Clear CMOS button

CAUTION: Pushing the CMOS button resets CMOS values to factory defaults and erases any customized information including passwords, asset numbers, and special settings. It is important to back up the workstation CMOS settings before resetting them in case they are needed later. To back up the CMOS settings, use Computer Setup and run the Save to Diskette option from the File menu.
