edge by pressing Return. To set a password, enter it twice and acknowledge by pressing Re-

Failure to comply with the instruction above may result in an irreparable disk
lockout.
5.4 Remember the Password
It is highly recommended to keep a record of all passwords in a safe place. Forgotten pass-
words may lead to being completely locked out of the system.
If the system cannot be booted because neither the User password nor the Administrator pass-
word are known, refer to Chapter 4.1 in the CP6002 User Guide for information about clearing
the uEFI BIOS settings, or contact Kontron for further assistance.
Note: The harddisk User password cannot be cleared using the above method.
