Enabling TSETUP access in user password mode
There are two ways to display the menu letting you provide access to
TSETUP and other restrictions imposed by the supervisor password.
When you register a supervisor password and when you enter the
command SVPW/U at 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.
1. a. When you register a supervisor password the following
message appears.
USER PASSWORD MODE = Unable to run SETUP
Do you want to change the setting ?
To change the setting, press Y and go to step 2.
b. Type SVPW/U at the DOS prompt and press Enter.
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.
„ If the supervisor password is registered, 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 ?
• If TSETUP access is enabled:
USER PASSWORD MODE = Able to run SETUP
Do you want to change the setting ?
If you select N, you will return to the DOS prompt.
Select
Y
to change the setting.
