Bypassing an unknown power-on password

Bypassing an unknown power-on password

When a power-on password is set, POST does not complete until you enter the password. If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server through either of the following methods:

•  Enter the administrator password at the power-on  prompt, if an administrator password has been set.  (If necessary, see 'Using the Administrator Password menu' for details.) Start the  Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the  power-on password. See 'Using the power-on password menu'.
•  Change the position of the jumper on J24 (see Processor board component locations)  to bypass the power-on password check. You can then start the  Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the  power-on password. See 'Using the power-on password menu'.
