Setup Program
The password becomes effective immediately after you enter it.
After you set the supervisor password, you are prompted to enter it
each time that you attempt to start the Setup program.
User Password
You do not need to set a user password, but a password helps to
protect the information that you store in your server. The user
password controls access to your operating system and the
information stored on your hard disk drives.
Note: Before setting the user password, you must set the supervisor
password.
To set a user password:
1. Start the Setup program.
2. Select Set User Password on the Security menu screen.
The Set User Password screen appears.
3. Type the 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 user 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 new password correctly, 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 it.
The password becomes effective immediately after you enter it. You
are prompted to enter the user password each time you start your
operating system, after POST occurs.
