Passwords
From the User Security menu choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on
password and an administrator password. The User Security choice is on the full
Setup utility menu only.
If you set only a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to
complete the system startup and to have access to the full Setup utility menu.
An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it
limits access to the full Setup utility menu. If you set only an administrator
password, you do not have to type a password to complete the system startup, but
you must type the administrator password to access the Setup utility menu.
If you set a power-on password for a user and an administrator password for a
system administrator, you must type the power-on password to complete the system
startup. A system administrator who types the administrator password has access to
the full Setup utility menu; the system administrator can give the user authority to
set, change, and delete the power-on password. A user who types the power-on
password has access to only the limited Setup utility menu; the user can set,
change, and delete the power-on password, if the system administrator has given
the user that authority.
Power-on password: If a power-on password is set, when you turn on the server,
the system startup will not be completed until you type the power-on password. You
can use any combination of between six and 20 printable ASCII characters for the
password.
