Setting Passwords in the HP Setup Program
You can set passwords to provide different levels of protection for your PC
Workstation, the Administrator password, the User password and the
Power-on password. You set these passwords using the Security menu in the
Setup program.
The Administrator can access and change all settings in the Setup program,
while the User can only access and modify certain items in the Main menu.
