Security Understanding HP and Windows Passwords HP security features and Windows operating system security features work independently from one another. For example, a device disabled in Computer Setup cannot be enabled in Windows. HP passwords and Windows passwords are also independent of one another. The following table lists the different passwords used by HP and Windows and describes their functions. HP Passwords* Function HP Administrator password Used to access Computer Setup. Power-on password Used to access the notebook during Startup. DriveLock user password Used by the day-to-day user to access drives protected by DriveLock at startup. DriveLock master password Used by the HP administrator to access drives protected by DriveLock and to remove DriveLock protection from the drive. Smart Card password Stores the Windows Administrator and User passwords and is used to access Windows during startup on notebooks. Power-on and HP Administrator passwords can be stored on Smart Cards if the Smart Card Reader supports this functionality. *HP Passwords must be enabled in Computer Setup.
