Utility
program.
If
you
have
not
saved
the
changes
you
have
made
in
the

you
are
asked
whether
you

Passwords
From
the
System
Security
choice,
you
can
set,
change,
and
delete
a
user
(power-on)
password
and
a
supervisor
(administrator)
password.
The
System
Security
choice
is

the
full
Configuration/Setup
menu
only.
If

only
a
user
password,
you
must
type
the
user
password
to
complete
the
system
startup
and
to
have
access
to
the
full
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu.
A
supervisor
password
is
intended
to
be
used
by
a
system
administrator;
it
limits
access
to
the
full
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu.
If
you
set
only
a

not
have
to

to
complete
the
system
startup,
but
you

type
the
supervisor
password
to

the

for
a
system
administrator,
you
can
type
either
password
to
complete
the
system
startup.
A
system
administrator
who
types
the
supervisor
password
has
access
to
the
full
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu;
the
system
administrator
can
give
the
user
authority
to
set,
change,
and
delete
the
user
password.
A
user
who
types
the
user
password
has
access
to
only
the
limited
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu;
the
user
can
set,
change,
and
delete
the
user
password,
if
the
system
administrator
has
given
the
user
that
authority.
User
