Password Security
This Personal Computer supports several password security features-a setup
password, a power-on password, and a password to lock a MultiBay hard
drive. The power-on password prevents unauthorized use of the Personal
Computer by requiring entry of a password to access applications or data each
time the Personal Computer is turned on or restarted. The setup password
specifically prevents unauthorized access to Computer Setup, and can also be
used as an override to the power-on password. That is, when prompted for the
power-on password, entering the setup password instead will allow access to
the Personal Computer.
Ownership Tag Displays ownership
information, as defined by
the system administrator,
during system startup
(protected by setup
password).
From the Compaq Computer Setup
Utilities menu.
