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 turned 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.
A network-wide setup password can be established 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 in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility
Establishing a setup password through the Computer Setup (F10) Utility prevents reconfiguration of the
workstation (through use of the Computer Setup (F10) Utility) until the password is entered.
