Using the System Setup Program
49
If you do not enter the correct password in three attempts, the system lets you
view, but not modify, the System Setup screens—with the following exception:
If System Password is not set to Enabled and is not locked through the Password
Status option, you can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable or
change an existing system password).
NOTE:
You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the Setup
Password option to protect the system password from unauthorized changes.
Deleting or Changing an Existing Setup Password
1 Enter the System Setup program and select the System Security option.
2 Highlight the Setup Password option, press <Enter> to access the setup
password window, and press <Enter> twice to clear the existing setup
password.
The setting changes to Not Enabled.
3 If you want to assign a new setup password, perform the steps in "Assigning
a Setup Password" on page 48.
Disabling a Forgotten Password
See "Disabling a Forgotten Password" on page 125.

The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) enables configuring,
monitoring, and recovery of systems remotely. BMC provides the following
features:
• Uses the system’s serial port and integrated NIC
• Fault logging and SNMP alerting
• Access to system event log and sensor status
• Control of system functions including power on and off
• Support is independent of the system’s power or operating state
• Provides text console redirection for system setup, text-based utilities, and
operating system consoles
NOTE:
To remotely access the BMC through the integrated NIC, you must connect
the network connection to integrated NIC1.
