Guidelines for Setting Passwords
You can use the same password for a Setup Utility feature that you use for a Windows security feature. You can also use the same password for more than one Setup Utility feature.
A password set in the Setup Utility:
■Can be any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.
■Must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a password set with keyboard number keys will not be recognized if it is thereafter entered with embedded numeric keypad number keys.
✎Select models include a separate numeric keypad, which functions exactly like the keyboard number keys.
■A password set in the Setup Utility must be entered at a Setup Utility prompt. A password set in Windows must be entered at a Windows prompt.
Tips for creating and saving passwords
■When creating passwords, follow requirements set by the program.
■Write down your passwords and store them in a secure place away from the computer.
■Do not store passwords in a file on your computer.
■Do not use your name or other personal information that could be easily discovered by an outsider.
