1. An information processing apparatus including an operation device and a network interface and having a keylock function that is a function of restricting a setting operation using one or more keys on the operation device, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive, via the network interface, an instruction corresponding to a remote operation;
a change unit configured to change an administrator password from an initial password to a different password, wherein, in a case where the administrator password is the initial password, a change of the initial password based on the instruction corresponding to the remote operation is restricted; and
a control unit configured to execute process so that the keylock function is not enabled without the change of the initial password made by the change unit,
wherein, in a case where a predetermined instruction based on a user operation via an operation unit is received, the change unit changes the administrator password from the initial password to a different password,
wherein, after the change of the initial password made by the change unit, the keylock function can be enabled, and
wherein, in a case where the reception unit receives a cancellation instruction of the keylock function as the instruction corresponding to the remote operation, the keylock function in an enabled state is disabled.
