For more information about Computer Setup, refer to Chapter 6, “Using Compaq Utilities.” In some cases
you may also need to set switches. For more information about these switches, refer to Appendix I.
Password Security
Your computer supports security password features, which can
be established by selecting:
■
Passwords icon from the Windows 95 Control Panel.
■
Security Management from the Compaq Utilities menu.
✎
Windows 95 can override some security features you set
through the Compaq Utilities menu at startup. Because of
this, Compaq recommends that you set your passwords by
using the Password icon located in the Control Panel.
Establishing a Setup Password Using Computer Setup
Establishing a setup password through Computer Setup prevents
reconfiguration of the computer (use of the Computer Setup
utility) until the password is entered.
