Security Coordinating Your Passwords Although you can use the same text for various passwords, HP passwords and Windows passwords function independently. ■ Even if you plan to use the same text for an HP password and a Windows password, you must set the HP password in the Setup utility and the Windows password in your operating system. ■ Unless you choose identical text for your HP passwords and your Windows passwords, you must enter the text of your HP password at an HP password prompt and the text of your Windows password at a Windows password prompt. For example: ❏ If a power-on password is set, your power-on password (not a Windows password) must be entered when the notebook is turned on, restarted, or restored from hibernation. ❏ If a Windows standby password is set, your Windows password (not your power-on password) must be entered when the notebook is resumed from standby or restored from hibernation. ✎ Although their names are similar, an HP administrator password and a Windows administrator password have different functions. For example, a Windows administrator password cannot be used to access the Setup utility, and an HP administrator password cannot provide administrator-level access to your notebook contents. You can, however, use the same text for both passwords. 12-8 Hardware and Software Guide
