Security Setup Utility and Windows 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. Setup utility security features and Windows operating system security features function independently. For example, a device disabled in the Setup utility cannot be enabled in Windows. Note the following password considerations: ■ Setup utility passwords are set in the Setup utility. ■ Windows passwords are set in the Windows operating system. ■ If you forget the power-on password and the administrator password set in the Setup utility, you cannot start up the notebook or restore from hibernation. Call Customer Care or your service partner for additional information. ■ A Setup utility administrator password and a Windows administrator password have different functions. A Windows administrator password cannot be used to access the Setup utility, and a Setup utility administrator password cannot provide administrator-level access to your notebook contents. ■ If you forget the administrator password set in the Setup utility, you will not be able to access the Setup utility. 6-4 Hardware and Software Guide
