Using the Power-On Password

The power-on password is a security feature that prevents use of the computer when it is turned on until a secret word or code is entered. This prevents unauthorized access to your information. If you establish a power-on password, you must enter it each time you turn on the computer.

IMPORTANT: You cannot use the computer if you forget your power-on password. Therefore, Compaq recommends that you record your password and put it in a safe place.

Establishing the Power-On Password

NOTE: For Windows 2000 refer to the “Establishing the Power-On Password in Windows 2000 Professional” section.

The power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the computer when it is turned on or resumed from Suspend, Hibernation, or QuickLock/QuickBlank.

CAUTION: You cannot use the computer if you forget your power-on password. Therefore Compaq recommends that you record your password and put it in a safe place.
