Set Privileged-Access Password:The privileged-access password protects against the unauthorized starting of the system programs.

To set the privileged-access password, you must first change a jumper on your server's system board. See "Enabling the Privileged-Access Password" in the RS/6000 7046 Model B50 User's Guide to locate and change the password-enabling jumper.

If the password-enabling jumper has been changed, select Set privileged-access password to set and verify the privileged-access password.

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. Removing the battery does not affect the state of the privileged-access password.

If you previously had set a privileged-access password and want to remove it, select

Remove Privileged-Access Password

.
