Login and logoff
The HP EWS has screens that can be used to view product information and change configuration
options. The screens that appear, and the settings on them, vary according to how you gain access to
the HP EWS: as a general user, an information technology (IT) administrator, or a service provider.
These passwords can be customized by an IT administrator or a service provider.
In a password-protected HP EWS, only the Information tab is available to users who do not log in by
using the password. If no password has been set (which is the default), all of the tabs are visible.
If a password has been set, you must log on as an IT administrator or a service provider to gain access
to the protected HP EWS tabs (Settings and Networking).
NOTE For information about changing passwords as an IT administrator, see Security. If you
are a service provider, see your product service guide.
