Enabling Hardware Setup and TSETUP access in user
password mode

A switch on the supervisor’s password command lets you enable or
disable Hardware Setup and TSETUP access in user password mode.

1. Type

SVPW /U

at the DOS prompt and press

Enter

. One of the

following sets of messages will be displayed:

If TSETUP access is disabled (and other restrictions in effect):

USER PASSWORD MODE = Unable to run SETUP

Do you want to change the setting ?

Select

Y

to enable TSETUP access (and remove other restrictions).

The following message will appear:

USER PASSWORD MODE = Able to run SETUP

If TSETUP access is enabled (and other restrictions disabled):

USER PASSWORD MODE = Able to run SETUP

Do you want to change the setting ?

Select

Y

to disable TSETUP (and apply other restrictions). The

following message will appear:

USER PASSWORD MODE = Unable to run SETUP

2. If you select

N

for either message, you will return to the DOS prompt.

To prevent a user from using this switch to access TSETUP, the supervisor
must copy the SVPW.EXE file to a diskette and delete it from the hard disk.

3. If the supervisor password is not registered, entering

SVPW /U

will

display the following message:

Unable to change user password mode because

supervisor password is not registered.
