PC Server 325 - Password

Applicable to: World-Wide

Password:
If a power-on password or administration password is set, you must type the password and press Enter before POST will continue.

Note:
If an administration password is set and then forgotten, it cannot be overridden or removed. You must replace the system board.

If a power-on password is set and forgotten, you can regain access to the server by using either of the following methods:
- Entering the administration password at the power-on prompt. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility programs and change the power-on password.

- Changing the position of the power-on password jumper (J12). See "System Board". When you restart the server, POST proceeds without prompting for the password for this startup only. Start the Configuration/Setup Utilities programs and set a new power-on password. Leave the power-on password jumper (J12) in its new position, unless you need to perform this procedure again.

Alarm/Wakeup Settings:
For proper operation of the Alarm/Wakeup Settings options, set the Password Prompt choice to Off. See "Configuration/Setup Utility Program".

Set the Wakeup features immediately before you plan to Power-off the server. The server locks and cannot be used after you exit, saving settings. When the server restarts, in either Attended or Unattended mode, the Wakeup features return to the default, disabled settings.

When both Wakeup features are enabled, the server starts when the first event (time or signal) occurs.
