Admin. Account

Use this page to set an administrator password for controlled access to HP Jetdirect configuration and status information. The administrator password is shared by HP Jetdirect configuration tools, such as the embedded Web server, Telnet, and HP Web Jetadmin. In selected printers, the password is shared with the printer (see Printer Password Synchronization).

If a password is set, and you attempt to access HP Jetdirect print server settings, you are prompted for a user name and this password before you are allowed access.

	NOTE:	You can clear the administrator password by applying blank entries, or by a cold reset of the print server to factory-default settings.

You can synchronize HP Web Jetadmin and the SNMP v1/v2c Set Community Name by using the check box. The administrator password is also used as the SNMP Set Community Name for SNMP v1/v2c management applications.

	NOTE:	If you subsequently change the SNMP Set Community Name through the SNMP tab on the Network Settings page or by using HP Web Jetadmin, the two settings are no longer synchronized.
