Administrator password
Your administrator password protects the configuration settings and system identification information
in Setup Utility. After this password is set, you must enter it each time you access Setup Utility.

nor is it displayed as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted. Be sure that you record your password
and store it in a safe place.
