About Passwords

Forgotten Passwords

Most security features use passwords. When you set a password, write it down and store it in a secure location.

If you forget your power-on password or Administrator password, you cannot start the notebook or resume from Hibernation until an authorized service provider resets the notebook. Refer to the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the notebook to contact a Compaq Product Information Center.

If you forget the DriveLock user password but know your DriveLock master password, you can remove DriveLock protection from the drive.

If you forget both your user and master DriveLock passwords, the hard drive is permanently unusable.
