type the password and press
to "Power-On Password" in the Administrator Password Submenu of
the Security Menu in the HP Setup program).
If you have set both an Administrator Password and a User Password,
and you enter the Setup program by 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. Refer to "Using the HP Setup Program", on
page 56.
2 Select the Security menu group.
3 Select the "User Password" submenu.
4 Choose the "Set User Password" setup item. You will be asked to
enter your password twice. Be sure to save your changes before you
exit the Setup program.
To remove the password, follow the same procedure as to set a
password, but do not enter anything in the password field. Press return
and then press return a second time to confirm your action.
If you forget your password, refer to "If You Have Forgotten Your
Password", on page 47.
