Power-on

password:

A

power-on

password

(POP)

protects

the

system

from

being

powered

on

by

an

unauthorized

person.

The

password

must

be

entered

before

an

operating

system

can

be

booted.

Hard-disk

password:

There

are

two

hard-disk

passwords

(HDPs):

v

User

HDP—for

the

user

v

Master

HDP—for

the

system

administrator,

who

can

use

it

to

get

access

to

the

hard

disk

even

if

the

user

has

changed

the

user

HDP

Note:

There

are

two

modes

for

the

HDP:

User

only

and

Master

+

User.

The

Master

+

User

mode

requires

two

HDPs;

the

system

administrator

enters

both

in

the

same

operation.

The

system

administrator

then

provides

the

user

HDP

to

the

system

user.

Attention:

If

the

user

HDP

has

been

forgotten,

check

whether

a

master

HDP

has

been

set.

If

it

has,

it

can

be

used

for

access

to

the

hard-disk

drive.

If

no

master

HDP

is

available,

IBM

does

not

provide

any

services

to

reset

either

the

user

or

the

master

HDP,

or

to

recover

data

from

the

hard-disk

drive.

The

hard-disk

drive

can

be

replaced

for

a

scheduled

fee.

Supervisor

password:

A

supervisor

password

(SVP)

protects

the

system

information

stored

in

the

IBM

BIOS

Setup

Utility.

The

SVP

must

be

entered

in

order

to

get

access

to

the

IBM

BIOS

Setup

Utility

and

make

changes

to

system

configuration

settings.

Attention:

If

the

SVP

has

been

forgotten

and

cannot

be

made

available

to

the

servicer,

there

is

no

service

procedure

to

reset

the

password.

The

system

board

must

be

replaced

for

a

scheduled

fee.
