Compaq and Windows Password Guidelines

Choosing Your Passwords
You can use the same text for Compaq passwords and Windows
passwords, with the following considerations:
■
The text of Compaq passwords can be any combination of up
to 8 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.
■
A Compaq password must be set and entered with the same
type of keys.
For example, a Compaq password set with keyboard number
keys will not be recognized if it is entered with embedded
numeric keypad number keys. For information about the
embedded numeric keypad, refer to
Numeric Keypad"
Any text used for a a Compaq password can be used for a
Windows password. For more information about choosing a
