Choosing Your Passwords
You can use the same text for Compaq passwords and Windows passwords, with the following considerations:
■The text of Compaq passwords can be any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.
■A Compaq password must be set and entered with the same type of keys.
For example, a Compaq password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if it is entered with embedded numeric keypad number keys. For information about the embedded numeric keypad, refer to “Using the Embedded Numeric Keypad” in Chapter 3, “Keyboard.”
Any text used for a a Compaq password can be used for a Windows password. For more information about choosing a Windows password, select Start > Help and Support.
