The HP administrator password ■ Is not interchangeable with a Windows administrator password, although both can use the same word or series of letters, or numbers. ■ Does not display as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted. ■ Must be set and entered with the same type keys. For example, an HP administrator 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 8 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive. 5-8 Hardware and Software Guide
