Enter Password

Press Enter when you are finished; you must type the password again for verification.

Verify Password

If you type the password incorrectly, press the Esc key and start again.

Note: If an error occurs when you attempt to set the privileged-access password, then make sure the password-enabling jumper has been changed. (See

"Enabling the Privileged-Access Password" in the RS/6000 7046 Model B50 User's Guide for instructions on changing the password-enabling jumper.)

After you have entered and verified the password, the privileged-access password icon flashes and changes to the locked position to indicate that your server now requires the password you just entered before running system programs.

Attention:

1. Once the password-enabling jumper has been changed and the privileged-access password has been set, great care must be taken to preserve

the privileged-access password. If you set the privileged-access password and later misplace it, your server must be returned for service.

To prevent loss of system use, record the privileged-access password immediately whenever it is changed.

2.If no user-defined boot list exists, and the privileged-access password has been enabled, you are asked for the privileged-access password at startup every time you boot your server.

Moving the password-enabling jumper back to the default position does not disable or erase the privileged-access password. Removing the jumper or moving the jumper back to the default position only prohibits changing or disabling this password with the System Management Services.
