Is there a way to set a power-on password on a Visualize C3000 ?

AFAIK, there is no boot-password.
But you can configure the machine to boot straight up to the default-runelevel without a chance to interrupt.
(And thus booting into single user mode without password)

DISCLAIMER:
I never used it and I can't reboot our C3000 just to see (I would get a big bunch of angry colleagues...)

- Reboot the machine
- When it says (something like) "Searching for bootable device, press any key to interrupt" interrupt the boot process
- You end up in the IPL (Initial Program Loader)
- Enter 'CO' (or 'configuration')
- 'secure' will show the setting of the secure boot flag
- 'secure on' switches it on ('secure off' switches it off)
- 'quit' or 'exit' (I don't recall exactly) brings you back to the main menu
- 'boot pri' there let the machine boot from the primary boot path

No, that's not the IPL. That's the firmware prompt. The IPL is loaded from
disk after the boot process is initiated.
