Security HP and Windows Password Guidelines HP and Windows passwords are not interchangeable. You must use an HP password at an HP 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 an HP password can be used for another HP password or for a Windows password, with the following considerations: ■ The text of HP passwords can be any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive. ■ An HP password must be set and entered with the same type of keys. For example, an HP 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 "Keypads" in Chapter 3.

HP and Windows Password Guidelines
HP and Windows passwords are not interchangeable. You must
use an HP password at an HP 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 an
HP password can be used for another HP password or for a
Windows password, with the following considerations:
■
The text of HP passwords can be any combination of up to
8 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.
■
An HP password must be set and entered with the same type
of keys. For example, an HP password set with keyboard
number keys will not be recognized if it is entered with
keypad number keys.
