Administrator password
If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password for
access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. You can use any combination of
up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the password. The administrator
password choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an optional IBM
Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed.
Attention: If you set an administrator password and then forget it, there is no way
to change, override, or remove it. You must replace the system board.
Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

installation program that is designed for your IBM server. The ServerGuide program

simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in
some cases, installing them automatically.

systems.
