2. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow key to select Security from the menu bar.
As soon as it is selected, the selections for the Security menu appear as
shown below.
➢ Power-On Password
➢ Hardware Security
The arrowhead ➢ indicates there is a submenu to select from.
3. If necessary, use the arrow key to move to the Power-On Password menu
selection and press Enter.
The Power-On Password is highlighted by default when the Security menu
is selected.
The first line in the menu is, "Power-on password is [Set or Not Set]"
◊ If no password has been set, then "Not Set" will appear in the field. If
this is the case, then you can boot the Netserver without a password.
The Power-on password controls access to the Setup Utility and its
settings, but will not be in effect until you reboot the Netserver.
◊ If "Set" is in the field, then you can change the password or remove the
password, if you know the existing password. If you do not know the
existing password, then refer to "Resetting a Lost Password" in Chapter
12, "Troubleshooting."
NOTE You must set the Power-on Password to configure the HP
Netserver to boot with a password.
4. Press the Enter key to enter a new password or change the old one.
A pop-up menu appears titled, "Set Power-On Password." If no password
has been entered, the field "Enter new password: [ ]" is highlighted. If
a previous password has been entered, the field "Enter old password:
[ ]" is highlighted.
NOTE To leave the pop-up menu without entering a password, press
the Esc key at any time.
