Supervisor and Hard Disk Passwords (765D-9546 765L-9547 770x-9548/49)
Supervisor and Hard Disk Passwords
The Supervisor Password and the Hard Disk Password (HDP) are security features
that are used to protect the system and the hard disk data from unauthorized access.
No overriding capability is provided.
If only a hard disk password is set,
obtaining permission from the password
owner to unlock the password is a prerequisite for running
diagnostic tests and performing service.
If both supervisor password and hard disk password are set,
you can enter Easy-Setup by pressing the Enter key
or power-on password at the supervisor password prompt.
In this case, the Password, Start up, and
Initialize icons cannot be selected.
See 'Password Combinations (POP, HDP, PAP)' for more information about passwords.
NOTE: The supervisor password and hard disk password cannot be replaced if they are forgotten.
If the customer forgets he supervisor password, the system board must be replaced. If the customer forgets the hard disk
password, the hard disk drive must be replaced.
