NOTE: For more information about the Computer Setup (F10) Utility, see Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu on page 27.
Password security
The power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the workstation by requiring entry of a password
to access applications or data each time the workstation is powered on or restarted. The setup password
specifically prevents unauthorized access to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility and can also be used as
an override to the power-on password. That is, when prompted for the power-on password, entering the
setup password instead will allow access to the workstation.
You can establish a network-wide setup password to enable the system administrator to log in to all
network systems to perform maintenance without having to know the power-on password.
NOTE: System Software Manager and HP Client Manager Software allow remote management of
Setup Passwords and other BIOS settings in a networked environment. For more information, see http://
www.hp.com/go/easydeploy.
Establishing a setup password using the Computer Setup (F10) Utility
Establishing a setup password through the Computer Setup (F10) Utility prevents reconfiguration of the
workstation (via use of the Computer Setup (F10) Utility) until the password is entered.
To establish a setup password using workstation setup:
1. Power on or restart the workstation.
2. As soon as the computer is powered on, press and hold the F10 key until you enter the Computer
Setup (F10) Utility. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the workstation
and press and hold the F10 key again to access the utility.
If you are using a PS2 keyboard, you might see a Keyboard Error message—disregard it.
3. Select Security>Setup Password and follow the onscreen instructions.
4. Before exiting, select File>Save Changes and Exit.
