You can use the same text for HP passwords and Windows
passwords, with these considerations:
The text of HP passwords can be any combination of up to
8 letters and numbers and is 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
keypad number keys. For information about the keypad, refer

Although you can use the same text for various passwords, HP
passwords and Windows passwords function independently. Even
if you plan to use the same text for an HP password and a
Windows password, you must set the HP password in the Setup
utility and the Windows password in your operating system.
Although their names are similar, an HP administrator Setup
password and a Windows administrator password have
different functions. For example, a Windows administrator
password cannot be used to access the Setup utility, and an HP
administrator Setup password cannot provide
administrator-level access to your notebook contents. You can,
however, use the same text for both passwords.
