To provide an information processing system having a user authentication function that prevents a device from falling into a non-operable state, while preventing a remote operation of an image processing measure with an initial password to increase security, and a method for controlling the information processing system.SOLUTION: In a system in which an image forming apparatus and a client terminal communicate with each other via a LAN, the image forming apparatus controls not to permit a situation in which a value for making a key lock function effective and a value of an initial password are simultaneously set as preset values of the client terminal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】初期パスワードによる画像処理措置のリモート操作を抑制することによってセキュリティを高めつつ、デバイスが操作不可状態に陥ることを防ぐ、ユーザ認証機能を有する情報処理システム及びその制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】画像形成装置と、クライアント端末とがＬＡＮを介して通信を行なうシステムにおいて、画像形成装置は、クライアント端末の設定値としてキーロック機能を有効にする値と初期パスワードの値が同時に設定されることは許可しないように制御する。【選択図】図７
