Login and logoff
The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) has screens that can be used to view product information
and change configuration options. The screens that appear, and the settings on them, vary
according to how you gain access to the EWS: as a general user, an information technology (IT)
administrator, or a service provider. These passwords can be customized by an IT administrator
or a service provider.
In a password-protected HP Embedded Web Server, only the Information tab is available to
users who do not log in by using the password. If no password has been set (which is the
default), all of the tabs are visible.
If a password has been set, you must log on as an IT administrator or a service provider to gain
access to the protected HP Embedded Web Server tabs (Settings and Networking).
Note
For information about changing passwords as an IT administrator, see
“Security” on page 31
. If
you are a service provider, see your product service guide.
