changing an existing system password. See "

Password Status

When Setup Password is set to Enabled, Password Status prevents 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 option and then change the

To unlock the system password, you must enter the setup password in the Setup Password option and then change the Password
Status setting 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 option.
