Using a Compaq Administrator Password A Compaq administrator password protects the configuration settings and system identification information in Computer Setup. Once set, this password must be entered to access Computer Setup. A Compaq administrator password: ■ Is not interchangeable with a Windows administrator password, although both can use the same term. ■ Does not display as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted. ■ Must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a Compaq Administrator password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if you enter it with internal keypad number keys. ■ Can include any combination of up to 32 letters, numbers, and slashes (/) and is not case sensitive.
