setpassword
Syntax: old new setpassword
Function Sets the system administrator password, controlling the
ability to make persistent changes to system parameters
or to Virtual Memory. The setpassword command re-
quires two integer operands: the old password and the
new password. If old is the correct old password, set-
password changes the password to new and returns
true; otherwise it returns false.
If you change the password and later cannot recall it,
refer to the “Printer Error” section in chapter 7, “Trou-
bleshooting Printer Problems,” to return to factory de-
faults.
