Password considerations

A password can be any combination of up to 16 (1 to 16) alphabetic and numeric

characters. For security reasons, it is recommended to use a strong password that

cannot be easily compromised. To set a strong password, use the following

guidelines:

Note: The Setup Utility program passwords are not case sensitive.

v Have at least eight characters in length

v Contain at least one alphabetic character and one numeric character

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 passwords

User password

After you have set a user password using the Set User Password option, a

password prompt is displayed each time you turn on the computer. You cannot

use the computer until a valid password is typed in. For more information on how

to set a password, see “Setting, changing, or deleting a password.”

Administrator password

The Set Administrator Password option enables you to set an administrator

password, which deters unauthorized users from changing configuration settings.

If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several computers, you might

want to set an administrator password. For more information on how to set a

password, see “Setting, changing, or deleting a password.”

After you have set an administrator password, a password prompt is displayed

each time you try to access the Setup Utility program. You cannot access the Setup

Utility program until a valid password is typed in.

If you have set both a user password and an administrator password, you can type

either password to use your computer. However, to change any configuration

settings, you must use your administrator password.

Setting, changing, or deleting a password

This section provides instructions on how to set, change, or delete a password.

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

1. Start the Setup Utility program. See “Starting the Setup Utility program” on

page 21.

Password or Set Administrator Password.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen to set, change, or delete a password.

Note: A password can be any combination of up to 16 (1 to 16) alphabetic and

numeric characters. For more information, see “Password
