Setting an Administrator Password



Setting an Administrator Password

The administrator password (sometimes called a supervisor-level password) controls access to some features on the server, including the Configuration/Setup utility program.

  If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, you must move the password jumper to clear the password and regain access to the Configuration/Setup utility program. This procedure erases the current server configuration (see 'Removing an Unknown Power-On/Administrator Password' for more information. You must then reconfigure the server.

To set an administrator password:
  1.  Select Administrator Password on the System Security menu, then, press Enter
  2.  Type the password in the Enter Administrator Password data field.

    NOTE: A password can contain any combination of up to seven alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, and  0-9). Keep a record of the password in a secure place.

  3.  Move the cursor to the Enter Administrator Password Again data field and type the password again.
  4.  Select Set or Change Administrator Password to save the new password, then press Enter. The  password becomes effective immediately.

    NOTE: A message appears if the two passwords do not match. If this happens, press Esc to cancel  the request and return to the System Security menu.


To delete an administrator password:

  1.  Select Administrator Password on the System Security menu, then, press Enter.
  2.  Select Delete Administrator Password, then, press Enter.
  3.  A confirmation window appears. Press Enter to delete the administrator password.
  4.  Press Esc to return to the System Security menu.
