Setup Program
Supervisor Password
The supervisor password allows you to control who has access to
the Setup program. If a supervisor password is set, you must enter
it to use the Setup program. Only someone who knows the
supervisor password can change it.
Before you can set a supervisor password, you must first set your
selectable drive-startup sequence, as described in “Setting the
Selectable Drive-Startup Sequence” on page 287.
Attention: If a supervisor password is set and then forgotten, it
cannot be overridden or removed. If you forget your supervisor
password, you must place a service call to regain access to your
server.
Note: To remove a supervisor password, press Enter when the
Enter new password data field is blank.
To set a supervisor password:
1. Start the Setup program.
2. Select Set Supervisor Password from the Security menu screen.
The Set Supervisor Password screen appears.
3. Type a password in the Enter new password data field.
Note: You can use any combination of up to seven characters
(A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your supervisor password. For
additional security, the user and supervisor passwords
should not be the same. Keep a record of your password
in a secure place.
4. Press Enter.
The cursor moves to the Re-enter new password data field.
5. To verify that you typed the correct password, type the
password in the Re-enter new password data field. If you did
not type the correct password, a warning message appears.
Press Enter to return to the Enter new password data field.
Return to step 3.
6. If you typed the correct password, press Enter to save it.
