Using passwords

From the System Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on password.

If you set a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to complete the system startup and to have access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu.

You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place.

If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the blade server through one of the following methods:

•Remove the blade server battery and then reinstall it (see “Replacing the battery” on page 41).

•Change the position of the power-on password override switch (switch 8 on switch block 2 on the system board) to bypass the power-on password check the next time the blade server is turned on. You can then start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the power-on password. You do not have to move the switch back to the previous position after the password is overridden. See Figure 5 on page 16 for the location of switch block 2.

✏NOTE

Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the SBCE unit to access the switches.
