Supervisor Password
Your server has password protection that you can set to prevent unauthorized
access to your server files. If you set a supervisor password, you will be prompted to
enter it prior to accessing the BIOS Setup utility. If “Password On Boot” is enabled,
you will be prompted to enter a password before your operating system boots.
