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 computer 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 computer 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 computer is resumed from standby or restored from hibernation. 6-6 Hardware and Software Guide

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 computer 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 computer 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 computer is resumed from standby or
restored from hibernation.
