3.5.4 Password Policy

Under the Intel

AMT Configuration screen,

1. Select ‘Password Policy’.

2. Press Enter to select.

The following options can be selected:

- Default Password Only – The Intel MEBX password can be changed through

the network interface if the default password has not been changed yet.

- During Setup and Configuration – The Intel MEBX password can be

changed through the network interface during the setup and configuration

process but at no other time. Once the setup and configuration process is

complete, the Intel MEBX password cannot be changed via the network

interface.

- Anytime – The Intel MEBX password can be changed through the network

interface at any time.

Note: The network interface mentioned above is NOT talking about WebUI.

There are two passwords for the firmware. The Intel MEBX password is the

password that is entered when a user is physically at the system. The network

password is the password that is entered when accessing an Intel ME enabled

system through the network. By default they are both the same until the network

password is changed via the network. Once changed over the network, the

network password will always be kept separate from the local Intel MEBX

password.

This option determines when the user is allowed to change the Intel MEBX

password through the network.

Note: The Intel MEBX password can always be changed via the Intel MEBX

user interface.
