When Setup Password is set to Enabled, Password Status allows you to prevent the
system password from being changed or disabled at system start-up.
To lock the system password, you must first assign a setup password in the Setup
Password category and then change the Password Status category to Locked. When
Setup Password has a password assigned and Password Status is Locked, the sys-
tem password cannot be changed through the System
Password category and cannot
be disabled at system start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter>.
To unlock the system password, you must enter the setup password in the Setup
Password category and then change the Password Status category to Unlocked. In
this state, the system password can be disabled at system start-up by pressing
<Ctrl><Enter> and then changed through the System Password category.
