Types of Passwords

A password is a group of characters that you set to secure your
computer information. Several types of passwords can be set,
depending on how you want to control access to your
information. Passwords can be set in Windows or in the
non-Windows Setup Utility preinstalled on the computer.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent being locked out of your computer, record each
password you set. Because most passwords are not displayed as they
are set, changed, or deleted, it is essential to write down each password
immediately, and store it in a secure place.
The following tables list commonly used Setup Utility and
Windows passwords and describe their functions.
