HP and Windows Passwords
HP security features and Windows operating system security
features work independently from one another. For example,
a device disabled in Computer Setup cannot be enabled in
Windows.
HP passwords and Windows passwords are also independent of
one another. The following table lists the different passwords
used by HP and Windows and describes their functions.

access drives protected by DriveLock
