Coordinating Passwords

A Setup administrator password and a Windows administrator password have different functions. A Windows administrator password cannot be used to access Setup, and a Setup administrator password cannot provide administrator-level access to your computer contents.

Setup Utility and Windows passwords function independently. You must use a Setup Utility password at a Setup Utility password prompt and a Windows password at a Windows password prompt. For example:

If a Setup Utility power-on password is set, the power-on password (not a Windows password) must be entered when the computer is turned on, restarted, or restored from hibernation.

If a Windows standby password is set, the Windows standby password (not a Setup Utility power-on password) must be entered when the computer is resumed from standby or restored from hibernation.
