Guidelines for Setting Passwords
You can use the same password for a Setup Utility feature that
you use for a Windows security feature. You can also use the
same password for more than one Setup Utility feature.
A password set in the Setup Utility:
■ Can be any combination of up to 8 letters and numbers and is
not case sensitive.
■ Must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a
password set with keyboard number keys will not be
recognized if it is thereafter entered with embedded numeric
keypad number keys.
✎
Select models include a separate numeric keypad, which
functions exactly like the keyboard number keys.
■
A password set in the Setup Utility must be entered at a Setup
Utility prompt. A password set in Windows must be entered
at a Windows prompt.
Tips for creating and saving passwords
■ When creating passwords, follow requirements set by the
program.
■ Write down your passwords and store them in a secure place
away from the computer.
■ Do not store passwords in a file on your computer.
■ Do not use your name or other personal information that
could be easily discovered by an outsider.
