Setting Passwords; Setting An Administrator Password - HP Kayak XA User Manual

NOTE

Setting Passwords

You can set two passwords, the Administrator password and the User
password, to provide two levels of protection for your PC Workstation.
You set both passwords in the Security menu group of the Setup
program.

Setting an Administrator Password

Set the Administrator password to protect the configuration of your PC
Workstation in the Setup program. An Administrator password can
provide a power-on password prompt to prevent your PC Workstation
being started or used in your absence. You can also use this password
to start the PC Workstation when the keyboard (and mouse) are
locked—you must type the password and press
keyboard. The keyboard lock feature only works when both an
Administrator and a User password are set.
If you have set both an Administrator password and a User password,
and you enter the Setup program by using the User password, you are
restricted in your ability to change setup items. If you enter the Setup
program with an Administrator password, you have no restrictions.
To set an Administrator Password:
1 Start the Setup program. Refer to page 87.
2 Choose the Security menu.
3 Choose the Administrator Password submenu.
4 Choose the Set Administrator Password setup item. You are asked to
enter your password twice. Save your changes when you exit the
Setup program by selecting Exit, then Save and Exit.
To remove the password, follow the same procedure as to set a
password. You are 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 page 71.
