Types of Passwords

A password is a group of characters that you set to secure your computer information. Several types of passwords can be set, depending on how you want to control access to your information. Passwords can be set in Windows or in the non-Windows Setup Utility preinstalled on the computer.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent being locked out of the computer, record each password you set. Because most passwords area not displayed as they are set, changed, or deleted, it is essential to write down each password immediately, and store it in a secure place.

The following tables list commonly used Setup Utility and Windows passwords and describe their functions.
