Using the Setup Password

Assigning a Setup Password
You can assign a setup password only when the Setup Password is

Not Enabled. To assign a setup password, highlight the Setup Password

option and press the <+> or <–> key. The system prompts you to enter

and verify the password.

NOTE:

The setup password can be the same as the system password. If the two

passwords are different, the setup password can be used as an alternate system

password. The system password cannot be used in place of the setup password.

You can use up to 32 characters in your password.
As you type, placeholders appear in the field.
The password assignment is not case-sensitive. Certain key combinations

are invalid and if you enter one, the system beeps. To erase a character,

press <Backspace> or the left-arrow key.
When you verify the password, the Setup Password changes to Enabled.

The next time you enter the System Setup program, the system prompts

you for the setup password.
A change to the Setup Password option becomes effective immediately

(restarting the system is not required).
