You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your power-on password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place. If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server through one of the following methods:

•If an administrator password has been set, enter the administrator password at the power-on prompt. (If necessary, see “Administrator password” on page 16 for details.) Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the power-on password.

•Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, and change the power-on password.
