Using Security Software
A power-on password must be established before QuickLock and
QuickBlank can be enabled.
The same password can be used as a power-on password and as a
setup password.
Using a Power-On Password
A power-on password is a software security feature that permits
computer operation only after entering a unique, preset, secret
word or code. After you establish a power-on password, you must
enter it each time you turn on the computer.
IMPORTANT:
Record your password and put it in a safe place. If you
forget the password, you cannot turn on the computer until a
Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider has cleared
the password from computer memory.
