Determining Password Status
You can use the Setup utility to determine whether a power-on,
supervisor, or DriveLock password is set.
If a prompt for a supervisor password is displayed as you attempt
to enter the Setup utility, the prompt itself confirms that a
supervisor password is set.
The status of all Compaq passwords is displayed in the Setup
utility.
