Setting the power-on password

Use the Set Power On Password option to set a password for accessing the server during the boot process. When you are powering on the server, a prompt appears where you enter the password to continue. To disable or clear the password, enter the password followed by a / (slash) when prompted to enter the password.
NOTE:

In the event of an Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) reboot, the power-on password is bypassed and the server boots normally.

Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Server Security > Set Power On Password.
  2. Enter your password.

    A password can be:

    • 31 characters maximum

    • Any combination of numbers, letters, and special characters

  3. Confirm the password, and then press Enter.

    A message appears confirming that the password is set.

  4. Save your changes.
  5. Reboot the server.
