Security Coordinating Passwords A Setup administrator password and a Windows administrator password have different functions. A Windows administrator password cannot be used to access Setup, and a Setup administrator password cannot provide administrator-level access to your notebook contents. Setup utility and Windows passwords function independently. You must use a Setup utility password at a Setup utility password prompt and a Windows password at a Windows password prompt. For example: ■ If a Setup utility power-on password is set, the 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, the Windows standby password (not a Setup utility power-on password) must be entered when the notebook is resumed from standby or restored from hibernation. Choosing a Password The same password used for a Setup utility password can be used for another Setup utility password or for a Windows password, with the following considerations: ■ A Setup utility password can be any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive. ■ A Setup utility password must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a Setup utility password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if it is thereafter entered with embedded numeric keypad number keys. 6-6 Hardware and Software Guide
