Entering a Password
Entering a Password
Enter a New
Password
Your system arrives from the factory without a password. The
password you enter must be a character string of exactly 16
hexadecimal characters (0 through 9, A through F). To enter
a password on your system, enter the commands shown in
Table 11–4 starting at the console mode prompt.
Table 11–4 Entering a Password
Enter this command: System responds:
>>> set password PSWD1>
PSWD1>
new_password
Return
PSWD2>
PSWD2>
new_password
Return
>>>
As you enter the password, what you type does not display
on the screen. If the two passwords you entered match, your
password is preserved in nonvolatile memory, which means that
the system saves your password value even when the system
unit is turned off.
If You Make an
Error
If the two passwords you enter do not match, the console displays
the following error message:
? 30 ILL PSWD
Enter the
set password
command again as described above.
Note Your
Password
Be sure to make a note of your password and store it in a secure
place. If you forget your console mode password, see the section,
Forgetting the Password in this chapter.
