Description
This command configures a BOF password. The user must provide the password to edit the BOF
parameters in the boot loader.
This command also implements a mechanism for password recovery. If the user forgets the password, it
can be reset to factory default. When a password is reset, as a security measure to prevent a malicious
access to the configuration files, the system also resets the flash to factory defaults (that is, it removes
all files from the flash, except the boot image file (cf1:\boot.tim) and TiMOS image file (cf1:\
both.tim)), and reboots the node with the factory default settings. After boot up, the user must set up
the box using the same steps used to boot the box the first time after it was received from the factory.
During bootup after a reboot, the user can use the factory default password "password" to edit the BOF
parameters. After the factory default password is used, Nokia recommends that the user should change
the password.
