Security Passwords Most security features use passwords. Whenever you set a password, write down the password and store it in a secure location away from the notebook. ■ If you forget your power-on password and your HP administrator password, you cannot start up the notebook or restore from hibernation. Call Customer Care or your service partner for additional information. ■ If you forget your HP administrator password, you will not be able to access the Setup utility. ■ If you forget a DriveLock password, the hard drive protected by the password is permanently locked and can no longer be used. HP and Windows Passwords HP security features and Windows operating system security features work independently from one another. For example, a device disabled in the Setup utility cannot be enabled in Windows. HP passwords and Windows passwords are also independent of one another. ■ HP passwords are passwords which are set in software provided by HP. For example, all passwords set in the Setup utility are HP passwords. ■ Windows passwords are passwords which are set in your Windows operating system. Hardware and Software Guide 12-5
