Using the System Setup Program 61
NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the System
Password and Setup Password options to further protect your system from
unauthorized changes.
Deleting or Changing an Existing System Password

When prompted, press <Ctrl><Enter> to disable the existing system
password.
If you are asked to enter your setup password, contact your network
administrator.
2
Enter the System Setup program by pressing <F2> during POST.

Select the
System Security
screen field to verify that the
Password Status
option is set to

.

When prompted, type the system password.

Confirm that
Not Enabled
is displayed for the
System Password
option.
If
Not Enabled
is displayed for the
System Password

password has been deleted. If

System

system, and then repeat steps 2 through 5.
Using the Setup Password
Assigning a Setup Password
You can assign (or change) a setup password only when the Setup Password
option is set to Not Enabled. To assign a setup password, highlight the Setup
Password option and press the <+> or <–> key. The system prompts you to
enter and verify the password. If a character is illegal for password use, the
system beeps.
NOTE: The setup password can be the same as the system password. If the two
passwords are different, the setup password can be used as an alternate system
password. However, the system password cannot be used in place of the setup
password.
You can use up to 32 characters in your password.
As you press each character key (or the spacebar for a blank space), a
placeholder appears in the field.
