Security Entering HP Administrator Passwords At the Administrator Password prompt, type your administrator password (using the same kind of keys you used to set the password), and then press enter. After 3 unsuccessful attempts to enter the HP administrator password, you must restart the notebook and try again. Power-On Passwords A power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the notebook. After this password is set, it must be entered each time the notebook is turned on or restarted. A power-on password ■ Does not display as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted. ■ Must be set and entered with the same type of keys. For example, a power-on 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.
