PC Workstation being started or used in your absence.
Start the PC Workstation when the keyboard and mouse are

locked—you must type the password and press
the keyboard (refer to "The HP Summary Screen and Setup
Program" on page 90).
If you have set both an Administrator password and a User password,
and you enter the Setup program using the User password, you will be
restricted in your ability to change setup items. If you enter the Setup
program with an Administrator password, you will have no restrictions.
To set a User password:
1 Start the Setup Program.
2 Select the Security menu.
3 Select the User Password submenu.
4 Choose the Set User Password setup item. You will be asked to enter
your password twice. Save your changes when you exit the Setup
program by selecting Exit, 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
. To confirm your choice, press
If you forget your password, refer to "If You Have Forgotten Your
