Security

Hardware and Software Guide 12–5

Passwords

Most security features use passwords. Whenever you set a

password, write down the password and store it in a secure

location away from the notebook.

■ If you forget your power-on password and your

Compaq administrator password, you cannot start up the

notebook or restore from hibernation. Call Customer Care

or your service partner for additional information.

■ If you forget your Compaq administrator password, you will

not be able to access the Setup utility.

■ If you forget a DriveLock password, the hard drive protected

by the password is permanently locked and can no longer be

used.

Compaq and Windows Passwords

Compaq security features and Windows operating system

security features work independently from one another. For

example, a device disabled in the Setup utility cannot be enabled

in Windows.

Compaq passwords and Windows passwords are also independent

of one another.

■ Compaq passwords are passwords which are set in software

provided by Compaq. For example, all passwords set in the

Setup utility are Compaq passwords.

■ Windows passwords are passwords which are set in your

Windows operating system.
