Administrative Password

If you have set an administrative password, you must enter it to use System Configuration Utility functions that allow you to change configuration data. Before you set an administrative password, you might want to first set your drive-startup sequence, as described in “Setting the Drive-Startup Sequence” on page 56.

If an administrative password is set and then forgotten, you can clear the password from memory using a system board configuration switch. Refer to “Clearing All Passwords (Switch S6A1-2)” on page 301 for more information.

To set an administrative password in the Setup program:

1.Start the Setup program.

2.Select Set Administrative Password from the Security Menu screen.

The Set Administrative Password screen appears.

3.Type a password in the Enter New Password data field.

Note: To remove an administrative password, press Enter when the Enter New Password data field is blank.

4.Press Enter.

The cursor moves to the Confirm New Password data field.

5.To verify that you typed the correct password, type the password in the Confirm New Password data field. If you did not type the correct password, you must re-enter the password in the Enter New Password data field. Return to step 3.

6.If you typed the correct password, press Enter to save it.

Note: To change an existing administrative password, follow steps 1 through 6.

The password becomes effective immediately after you save it.
