Infortrend RAID Controller Manual

6-28
Change Password
Use the controller’s password to protect the controller from
unauthorized entry. Once the controller’s password has been set,
regardless of whether the front panel, the RS-232C terminal interface
or the RAIDWatch Manager is used, the user can only configure and
monitor the RAID controller by providing the correct password.
IMPORTANT!
• The controller is able to verify the password when entering the main menu from the
initial screen or making configuration change. If the controller is going to be left
unattended, the “Password Validation Timeout” can be set to “Always Check.”
• The controller password and controller name are sharing a 16-character space. The
maximum characters for the controller password is 15. When the controller name
occupied 15 characters, there is only one character left for the controller password and
vice versa.
Changing Password
To set or change the controller password,
press ▼ or ▲ to select “Change Password,”
then press ENT.
If a password has previously been set, the
controller will ask for the old password
first. If the password has not yet been set,
the controller will directly ask for the new
password. The password can not be
replaced unless a correct old password is
provided.
Press ▼ or ▲ to select a character, then
press ENT to move to the next space. After
entering all the characters, press ENT for
two seconds to confirm. If the password is
correct, or there is no preset password, it
will ask for the new password. Enter the
password again to confirm.
