System Password

Good morning, all.

Quick question - I have a model 170 and 620 which are going to rest for
a while (going to storage).  When/if I fire them back up in the future,
will I need the system password at IPL time?  What if I boot off CD and
scratch the system?  

Basically I'm wondering if I'm affected by the system password thing on
these boxes, and if so, how I'm affected.  I've *heard* if you leave
them powered-off for a month that you'll get the password prompt at IPL
time.  But I'm not sure, never seen it - please advise!  Thanks in
advance.
