Managing Computer Setup passwords

You can use BIOS Configuration to set and change the power-on and setup passwords in Computer Setup, and also to manage various password settings.

CAUTION: The passwords you set through the “Passwords” page in BIOS Configuration are saved immediately upon clicking the Apply or OK button in the HP ProtectTools window. Be sure that you remember what password you have set, because you will not be able to undo a password setting without supplying the previous password.

The power-on password can protect your notebook from unauthorized use.

NOTE: After you have set a power-on password, the Set button on the “Passwords” page is replaced by a Change button.

The Computer Setup password protects the configuration settings and system identification information in Computer Setup. After this password is set, it must be used to access Computer Setup. If you have set a setup password, you will be prompted for the password before opening the BIOS Configuration portion of HP ProtectTools.

NOTE: After you have set a setup password, the Set button on the “Passwords” page is replaced by a Change button.
