Security
Passwords
Most security features use passwords. Whenever you set a
password, write down the password and store it in a secure
location away from the notebook.
■
If you forget your power-on password and your HP
administrator password, you cannot start up the notebook or
restore from hibernation. Call Customer Care or your
authorized service partner for additional information.
■
If you forget your HP administrator password, you will not be
able to access Computer Setup.
■
If you forget the DriveLock user password but know the
DriveLock master password, you can remove DriveLock
protection from the drive.
For instructions, refer to the “DriveLock” section in this
chapter.
HP and Windows Passwords
HP security features and Windows operating system security
features work independently from one another. For example,
a device disabled in Computer Setup cannot be enabled in
Windows.
Some password options are provided by your HP software, and
others are provided by your operating system. HP passwords
and Windows passwords are also independent of one another.
The following table lists the different passwords used by HP and
Windows and describes their functions.
