Using the Boot Manager
Protecting the Boot Manager with a Password
To prevent accidental or unauthorized access to the hard disk on your Nokia
IP1200 Series Security Platform, you can require that the user enter a
password to access the boot manager install command. Use the
command to set the password.
Note
The password you enter gives you access to the install command in boot
manager, not access to Nokia IPSO.
To set a password
1. At the boot manager command prompt enter:
2. If the appliance is protected by a password, enter your current password.
3. Enter the new password.
4. Enter the new password again.
Note
If you forget your install password, contact the appropriate
Nokia Customer Support site as listed in
page 3 for information on how to set a new one.
