Don't use personal information that others can easily figure out, such as your birthday, child's name, or phone number. Don't write down passwords unless you store them in a secure place away from the computer. Do not store passwords in a file on the computer. You can use the same password for more than one Windows Vista security feature. A password can have any combination of up to eight letters and numbers, and it is not case sensitive. A password must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, if you set the password with number keys on the keyboard, the password is not recognized if you subsequently try to enter it with the embedded numeric keypad. NOTE: Select models include a separate numeric keypad, which functions exactly like the keyboard number keys, except in the case of passwords. A password set in Windows Vista must be entered at a Windows Vista prompt. The following table lists the Windows Vista passwords and describes their functions. For information on how to set passwords, see "Using passwords." For additional information on Windows Vista passwords, such as screen saver passwords, type passwords into the Search Help box in the Help and Support Center. Password Function Windows Vista Administrator password Protects administrator-level access to computer contents. Windows Vista User password Protects access to a Windows Vista user account and the computer contents. It must be entered when you resume from Sleep or Away mode. CAUTION: If you forget the Administrator password, you cannot access Setup Utility. Using antivirus software When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, you expose it to computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, software programs, or utilities, or cause them to function abnormally. Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and in most cases repair any damage that viruses may have caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up to date. 42 Getting Started (features vary by model)
