4 The HP Setup Program

Setting Passwords

 

Setting Passwords

 

You can set two passwords, the administrator password and the user

 

password, to provide two levels of protection for your PC.

Administrator

Set the Administrator Password to protect the PC’s configuration in

Password

Setup. The Administrator Password must be entered before any Setup

 

options, except Preferences, can be modified.

User Password

Setting a User or Administrator Password can provide a power-on

 

password prompt to prevent your PC being started or used in your

 

absence. A user password can only be set if an administrator password

 

has been set. The user password also allows the possibility of starting

 

the PC with the keyboard locked. You must then type the password and

 

press

 

to unlock the keyboard.
