Password considerations

A password can be any combination of up to twelve characters (a-z and 0-9). For

security reasons, it is recommended to use a strong password that cannot be easily

compromised. A strong password should adhere to the following rules:

v Have eight characters in length

v Contain at least one alphabetic character and one numeric character

v Setup Utility program and hard disk drive passwords are not case sensitive

v Not be your name or your user name

v Not be a common word or a common name

v Be significantly different from your previous password

Power-On Password

When a Power-On Password is set, the computer cannot be used until a valid

password is typed from the keyboard.

Administrator Password

Setting an Administrator Password deters unauthorized persons from changing

configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several

computers, you might want to set an Administrator Password.

After you set an Administrator Password, a password prompt is displayed each

time you try to access the Setup Utility program.

If both the user and administrator passwords are set, you can type either

password. However, to change any configuration settings, you must use your

administrator password.

Setting, changing, and deleting a password

To set, change, or delete a password, do the following:

Note: A password can be any combination of up to twelve alphabetic and numeric

characters. See “Password considerations” for more information.

1. Start the Setup Utility program. See Chapter 6, “Using the Setup Utility,” on

page 49.

2. From the Setup Utility program, select the Security tab and then select Set

administrator password or Set Power-On Password. Read the information

displayed on the right side of the screen.
