Using the System Setup Program 4-15
When the User Password Is category displays Disabled, you
can assign a user password or operate the system with no
password assigned.
To change an existing user password, first enter the sys-
tem setup program, select the Set User Password
category, and enter the current user password. Then
assign a new password as described in “Assigning a User
Password” earlier in this section.
Disabling a Forgotten Password
If you forget your user or administrative password, you
cannot operate your system or change settings in the sys-
tem setup program, respectively, until a trained service
technician opens the computer chassis, changes the pass-
word DIP switch setting to disable the passwords, and
erases the existing passwords. This procedure is
described in “Disabling a Forgotten Password” in Appen-
dix C of the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

esponding to Error Messages
If an error message appears while the system is booting,
make a note of the message. Then, before entering the
system setup program, refer to Chapter 3, “Messages and
Codes,” in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
for an explanation of the message and suggestions for
correcting any errors. (An exception to this routine: It is
normal to receive an error message the first time you boot
your system after a memory upgrade is installed. In that
situation, follow the instructions beginning with step 10
of “Performing a Memory Upgrade” in Chapter 8 of the
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.)
