Although you can use the same text for various passwords, HP
passwords and Windows passwords function independently. Even
if you plan to use the same text for an HP password and a
Windows password, you must set the
HP password in the Setup
utility and the Windows password in your operating system.
Although their names are similar, an HP administrator password
and a Windows administrator password have different functions.
For example, a Windows administrator password cannot be used
to access the Setup utility, and an HP administrator password
cannot provide administrator-level access to your notebook
contents. You can, however, use the same text for both passwords.
