Setting the HP Server's Boot Passwords
Use this topic to set a password to boot the HP Server. Further, you can have a separate administrator
password and user password, but the user password is limited in access once booted.
To configure the HP Server for a password, which will require a password on boot-up, refer to the following
procedure.
1. If not already in the Setup Utility, boot or reboot the system and press F2 when prompted.
2. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow key to select Security from the menu bar.
As soon as it is selected, the selections for the Security menu appear as shown below.
ØPower-On Password
ØHardware Security
The arrowhead Ø indicates there is a submenu to select from.
3. If necessary, use the arrow key to move to the Power-On Password menu selection and press Enter.
The Power-On Password is highlighted by default when the Security menu is selected.
The first line in the menu is, "Administrator Password is [Set or Not Set]."
o If no password has been set, then "Not Set" will appear in the field. If this is the case, then you are
not allowed to set the User password until you set an Administrator password. With no password set
you can still boot the server without a password.
The Administrator password controls access to the Setup Utility and its settings, but will not be in
effect until you "Set" the password and reboot the server.
o If "Set" is in the field, then you can change the Administrator password or scroll to the User
password and change it. If you do not know the existing Administrator password, then refer to
"Password Problems" in Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting."
NOTE You must set the Administrator password before setting the User password. The
Administrator password is the only password required to configure the HP Server to boot
with a password.
