Compaq Administrator Passwords

The Compaq administrator password protects the configuration
settings and system identification information in the Setup utility.
After this password is set, it must be entered to access the Setup
utility.
The Compaq administrator password

Is not interchangeable with a Windows administrator
password, although both can use the same word or series
of letters and numbers.
■
Can include any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers
and is not case sensitive.
■
Does not display as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.

a Compaq administrator password set with keyboard number
keys will not be recognized if you enter it with embedded
numeric keypad number keys.
