Creating the Management Password

The Management Password is different from the Admin Password.
The Admin Password allows access to the Admin Setup screens. The
Management Password allows the administrator to
password-protect (lock) specific screens. In other words, the Admin
Password allows a user to access the admin section, but the
Management Password is needed to access a specific screen.

To create a Management Password:

1.

Launch the PMAC utility.

2.

Enter the IP address and the Password of the system.

3.

Select the Management Password tab.

4.

Enter the Management Password. Re-enter the Management
Password.

5.

Clisk the Apply button to install the settings.

When you try to access a screen that is password protected, you are
prompted to enter the Management Password. If the wrong
password is entered, you are not allowed to access the screen.

The Management Password overrides the Admin Password. For example,
if you have both an Admin Password and a Management Password,
use the Management Password to log into the system from the
PMAC utility.
