Security Compaq and Windows Password Guidelines Compaq and Windows passwords are not interchangeable. You must use a Compaq password at a Compaq password prompt and a Windows password at a Windows password prompt. For example: ■ If a power-on password is set, the power-on password (not a Windows password) must be entered when the notebook starts up or restores from Hibernation. ■ If you set Windows to prompt for a password before resuming from Standby, a Windows password (not a power-on password) must be entered to resume from Standby. The same word or series of letters or numbers used for a Compaq password can be used for another Compaq password or for a Windows password, with the following considerations: ■ The text of Compaq passwords can be any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive. ■ A Compaq password must be set and entered with the same type of keys. For example, a Compaq password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if it is entered with keypad number keys. For information about the keypad, refer to "Keypad" in Chapter 2. 5-6 Hardware and Software Guide
