∙PC identification protection. Prevents an unauthorized person from changing your identification stored in the computer.

∙Separate user and administrator passwords. The user password is the general password for most types of protection. The administrator password can serve as a backup for the user password—you can enter it any time the user password is requested. The administrator password can provide setup and PC ID protection, and you can use it to change or delete the user password.

Hint

Before you type a password, check the status of Num Lock in the Status Panel. Normally, you’d want it off so you can type letters.

Use the following steps to set up password security.

1.Run the System Configuration Utility and use its System menu Passwords commands (rebooting is not required).

–or–

Run HP User Tools and click the OmniBook button on the Setup tab. Then click the Password tab.

2.Choose to set a user or administrator password according to the table below. The password can contain up to eight characters. The display shows * for each character in your password. After you type the password, press TAB and type it again in the Verify box.

3.Set or clear the password options you want according to the table below.
