Setting Hardware Passwords in the HP Setup
Program
You can set hardware passwords to provide different levels of protection
for your Workstation: the Administrator password and the User
password. You set these passwords using the Security menu in the Setup
program.
The Administrator can access and change all settings in the Setup
program, while the User can only access and modify certain items in the
Main menu.
To Set a Password
1. Start the Setup program.
2. Select the Security menu.
3. Select the Administrator or User password submenu.
4. Choose the Set Administrator or User Password setup item. You must
enter your password twice.
5. To save your changes and exit the Setup program, press Esc or select
Exit Menu, then Exit Saving Changes.
To remove the password, follow the same procedure as to set a password.
You will be asked to enter the existing password first. Then, for the new
password, leave the password field blank and press Enter. To confirm
your choice, press Enter a second time.
