Removing a Password
If you have forgotten your password and you do not want to set a
new one, there are two ways to remove the current password:
❏ Disable the existing password
❏ Disable the password function.
To do either of these procedures, you must reset a jumper on the
main system board.
Note
If you are using network server mode and you remove the
password, the
computer automatically turns off network
server mode.
You should disable the existing password if you want to be able
to set a new password later without having to reset a jumper
again. See “Disabling an existing password,” below, for
instructions.
If you disable the password function, you cannot set a new
password unless you perform the steps to disable the existing
password at that time. If you do not want to use a password
anymore, follow the instructions under “Disabling the password
function” below.
