60 Using the System Setup Program
After you verify the password, the Setup Password setting changes to
Enabled. The next time you enter the System Setup program, the system
prompts you for the setup password.
A change to the Setup Password option becomes effective immediately
(restarting the system is not required).
Operating With a Setup Password Enabled
If Setup Password is set to Enabled, you must enter the correct setup password
before you can modify most of the System Setup options. When you start the
System Setup program, the program prompts you to enter a password.
If you do not enter the correct password in three attempts, the system lets you
view, but not modify, the System Setup screens—with the following
exception: If System Password is not set to Enabled and is not locked through
the Password Status option, you can assign a system password (however, you
cannot disable or change an existing system password).
NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the Setup
Password option to protect the system password from unauthorized changes.
