option(s) are in effect then the Password screen appears; enter the password
and press enter. Three attempts are allowed to enter the correct password
before the system locks up and gives the PAP 8 digit error code 00016004
or the POP 8 digit error code 00016005. The only recovery for password 8
digit error code is to cycle system power. See “Power On Password” on
page 6-7 and see “Privileged Utilities Password” on page 6-7 for more
information about passwords.
Attention: If no one is able to provide the password, the only recovery is to
remove the NVRAM Battery for awhile; this could be detrimental to the
customer, any data in NVRAM could be corrupted, and may have to be
regenerated by the customer. One item might be the preferred/service
bootlist.
