Entering HP Administrator Passwords
At the Administrator Password prompt, type your administrator
password (using the same kind of keys you used to set the
password), and then press enter. After 3 unsuccessful attempts to
enter the HP administrator password, you must restart the
notebook and try again.
Power-On Passwords
A power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the notebook.
After this password is set, it must be entered each time the
notebook is turned on or restarted. A power-on password
■ Does not display as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.
■ Must be set and entered with the same type of keys. For
example, a power-on password set with keyboard number
keys will not be recognized if you enter it with embedded
numeric keypad number keys.
■ Can include any combination of up to 32 letters and numbers
and is not case sensitive.
