Security HP Administrator Passwords The HP administrator password protects the configuration settings and system identification information in Computer Setup. After this password is set, it must be entered to access Computer Setup. The HP administrator password ■ Is not interchangeable with a Windows administrator password, although both can use the same word or series of letters, or numbers. ■ Does not display as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted. ■ Must be set and entered with the same type of keys. For example, an HP administrator password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if you enter it with embedded numeric keypad number keys. ■ Can include any combination of up to 32 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.
