Coordinating Your Passwords
Although you can use the same text for various passwords,
Compaq passwords and Windows passwords function
independently.
■
Even if you plan to use the same text for a Compaq password
and a Windows password, you must set the Compaq
password in the Setup utility and the Windows password in
your operating system.
■
Unless you choose identical text for your Compaq passwords
and your Windows passwords, you must enter the text of your
Compaq password at a Compaq password prompt and the text
of your Windows password at a Windows password prompt.
For example:
❏
❏
✎
Although their names are similar, a Compaq administrator
password and a Windows administrator password have
different functions. For example, a Windows administrator
password cannot be used to access the Setup utility, and a
Compaq administrator password cannot provide
administrator-level access to your notebook contents. You can,
however, use the same text for both passwords.
12–8
If a power-on password is set, your power-on password
(not a Windows password) must be entered when the
notebook is turned on, restarted, or restored from
hibernation.
If a Windows standby password is set, your Windows
password (not your power-on password) must be entered
when the notebook is resumed from standby or restored
from hibernation.
