Note

might cause memory conflicts between the SCU and application
software. This specifically applies to memory managers and Windows
applications.
5.3.1 Access Password Utility
The password utility allows you to:
• Set or change the power-on password.
• Activate or deactivate a network password.
• Set a different keyboard password.
• Lock the keyboard (locks the keyboard until the password is reentered).
Use the SCU to set the power-on password. Passwords may be from one to
seven characters. The power-on password is the default for the keyboard and
network passwords; you can select different passwords for all three.
The password utility must be enabled with the password jumper, E0390. To
enable passwords, move the jumper to the 2–3 position. If the jumper is in the
disable position (1–2), the password defined in the SCU will not be written to
memory. When the password jumper is enabled and a password is defined, the
boot sequence pauses with a password prompt. The correct password must be
entered for the system to continue booting.
If you are locked out of the system because you forgot the password, open the
system and set the password jumper to the disable position. The system can
then be booted successfully. The system cabinet key prevents unauthorized
access to the password jumper.
To change the password, run the SCU and select the "Access password utility"
option.
The password can also be changed at the password prompt. To change the
power-on password, type the following string at the password prompt:
Current password/new password/new password
