HP and Windows Password Guidelines

HP and Windows passwords are not interchangeable. You must
use an HP password at an HP password prompt and a Windows
password at a Windows password prompt. For example:
If a power-on password is set, the power-on password (not
a Windows password) must be entered when the notebook
starts up or restores from hibernation.
If you set Windows to prompt for a password before
resuming from standby, a Windows password (not a
power-on password) must be entered to resume from standby.
The same word or series of letters, numbers, or slashes used for
an HP password can be used for another HP password or for a
Windows password, with these considerations:
HP passwords can be any combination of up to 32 letters and
numbers and are not case-sensitive.
An HP password must be set and entered with the same type
of keys. For example, an HP 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
12–6
