Security Coordinating Your Passwords Although you can use the same text for various passwords, Compaq passwords and Windows passwords function independently. ■ Even if you plan to use the same text for a Compaq password and a Windows password, you must set the Compaq password in the Setup utility and the Windows password in your operating system. ■ Unless you choose identical text for your Compaq passwords and your Windows passwords, you must enter the text of your Compaq password at a Compaq password prompt and the text of your Windows password at a Windows password prompt. For example: ❏ If a power-on password is set, your power-on password (not a Windows password) must be entered when the notebook is turned on, restarted, or restored from hibernation. ❏ If a Windows standby password is set, your Windows password (not your power-on password) must be entered when the notebook is resumed from standby or restored from hibernation. ✎ Although their names are similar, a Compaq administrator password and a Windows administrator password have different functions. For example, a Windows administrator password cannot be used to access the Setup utility, and a Compaq administrator password cannot provide administrator-level access to your notebook contents. You can, however, use the same text for both passwords. 12-8 Hardware and Software Guide
