Changing System Administrator Password
For security reasons, it is a good idea to change the system

that is easy to identify, such as your own name. This is a system
administrator task.

2. From the Main menu, press
W for Change Administrator
Password.
3. Type the new password, and press Return key.
The password must begin with a letter and can contain 8
alphanumeric characters. For security reasons, each character typed
is displayed as an asterisk (*).

5. Press
F5 OK to set the system administrator password.
