Setting an Administrator Password



Setting an Administrator Password

The administrator password (sometimes called the supervisor password) allows the administrator to control who has access to some features of the server, including the Configuration/Setup utility program. If an administrator password is set, the password must be entered to display the complete menu for the Configuration/Setup utility program. Otherwise, a limited version of the Configuration/Setup utility program menu appears, the user cannot change any settings.

NOTE:
  1.  If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, it cannot be  overridden or removed.
  2.  Before you set an administrator password,  you must set the administrator password jumper to the change position.


To set an administrator password:
  1.  Select Administrator Password on the System Security  screen, then press Enter.

    The Administrator Password screen appears.

  2.  Type the password in the Enter Administrator Password data field.
  3.  Verify that you typed the correct password.  If you did not type the correct password, press Esc,  and type the correct password.
  4.  Repeat steps 2 through 3 for  the Enter Administrator Password Again data field.
  5.  Select Set or Change Administrator Password  to save the new password, then press Enter.  The system prompts you to change the administrator password jumper  to the locked position after changing the password.


The password becomes effective immediately after you select Set or Change Administrator Password.

You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) for the administrator password. Keep a record of the password in a secure place.
