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.
