HP and Windows Password Guidelines
HP and Windows passwords are not interchangeable. You must
use an HP password at an HP password prompt and a Windows
password at a Windows password prompt. For example:
■
If a power-on password is set, the power-on password
(not a Windows password) must be entered when the tablet
PC starts up or restores from hibernation.
■
If you set Windows to prompt for a password before
resuming from standby, a Windows password (not a power-on
password) must be entered to resume from standby.
