Passwords (8650)

Passwords

Two types of passwords are available with the PC Server 704. These are the administrator and user passwords. Both passwords can be set using the Setup program and the 'System Configuration Utility Program'.

Enter Password appears on the screen to prompt you. (The passwords do not appear on the screen as you type them.) If you enter the wrong password, Enter Password appears again. After three incorrect attempts, you must Power-off the server and start again.

NOTE: Any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) can be for your administrator password. For additional security, the user and administrator passwords should not be the same.

The following table summarizes the levels of security with the different levels of password protection.

The administrator password can be set in the Setup program before the system is configured. This will help secure the configuration data by restricting access to some System Configuration Utility program functions. The following explains how to define the administrator password.
