58 SYSCFG
--syspwd <string> This option sets the system password for the
BIOS. The system password is required when
booting the system. The argument string supplied
to this option is the password. Generally,
passwords are limited to alphanumeric characters
and cannot exceed 32 characters in length. If a
current system password is set, it must be given
through the --oldsyspwd option. This option is not
replicated.
Example 1:
A:>syscfg --syspwd=
password
The password has been set. Please
use a warm reboot to apply the
password to the system.
Example 2:
A:>syscfg --syspwd=
password
--oldsyspwd= password
The password has been set. Please
use a warm reboot to apply the
password to the system.
NOTE: You cannot disable your password using
DTK. To disable your password, you must use the
system BIOS.
