To Set A Docking Password - HP OmniBook 800 - Notebook PC User Manual

To set a docking password

Password security protects access to your OmniBook. If you use password security,
you must enter the password at certain times (defined in Password Options). This is
where you specify a docking password.
This symbol means a password has locked access to the system. (If you have a
video card installed, this symbol does not appear, but the screen goes blank and the
computer beeps.) Type the password to gain access. Be sure you record your
password in a safe place. To restore operation if you forget your password, you'll
have to call Hewlett-Packard at the number in the Service and Support booklet or
select the OmniBook Support icon in the online OmniBook Library group.
