Using the Power-on Password Menu (Server 330)

Using the Power-on Password Menu

When a power-on password is set, you must enter a password each time you start the system.

To set a power-on password:

Select Power-on Password on the System Security menu; then press Enter.
The Power-on Password menu appears.
Type the password in the Enter Power-on password data field.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) for the power-on password. Keep a record of the password in a secure place.
Move the cursor to the Enter Power-on Password Again data field and type the password again.
Select Set or Change Power-on Password to save the new password; then press Enter.
NOTE: A message appears if the two passwords do not match. If this happens, press Esc to cancel the request and return to the System Security menu.

If you forget the power-on password, and an administrator password has been set, use the administrator password at the power-on prompt; then start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the power-on password. If no administrator password has been set, you can bypass the power-on password prompt during POST and set a new password.
