A setup password can be assigned (or changed) only when Setup Password is set to
Not Enabled. To assign a setup password, highlight Setup Password and press the
left- or right-arrow key. The system prompts you to enter and verify the password. If a
character is illegal for password use, the system emits a beep.
NOTES: The setup password can be the same as the system password.
If the two passwords are different, the setup password can be used as an alternate
system password. However, the system password cannot be used in place of the
setup password.
After you verify the password, Setup Password changes to Enabled. The next time
you enter the System Setup program, the system prompts you for the setup
password.
A change to Setup Password becomes effective immediately (rebooting the system
is not required).
