How to reset the passwords
This section describes how to reset the supervisor and user password for
power on and instant security.
Supervisor password
1. Go to the DOS prompt, type in SVPW, and press Enter.
2. If the password has been registered, the following line will be displayed:
SUPERVISOR PASSWORD = Registered
Do you want to delete the supervisor password
?
3. Press Y to delete the password. The following line will be displayed:
Enter Password --->
4. Enter the currently registered password. The character string you
enter is displayed as a string of asterisks. For example, if you enter a
password consisting of four characters, the display is shown as:
Enter Password ---> ****
5. Press Enter. If character strings match, the password is registered
and the display changes to:
SUPERVISOR PASSWORD = Not Registered
If they do not match, the following message appears:
Password verify error!
Do you want to retry ?
Press Y to return to step 3. Press N to return to DOS.
If you enter the password incorrectly three times, the screen will display:
Access denied!!
You will not be able to access the password item in the TSETUP menu. In
this case you must turn the power off and back on to retry the procedure.
6. Follow the same procedures described in the earlier section, How to
set the password, to set a new supervisor password.
After you register or delete a supervisor password, if you press the reset
switch before turning off the power, your latest supervisor password
setting will be cancelled.
