HP and Windows Password Guidelines
HP and Windows passwords are not interchangeable. You must
use an HP password at an HP password prompt and a Windows
password at a Windows password prompt. For example:
■ If a power-on password is set, the power-on password (not
a Windows password) must be entered when the tablet PC
starts up or restores from Hibernation.
■ If you set Windows to prompt for a password before
resuming from Standby, a Windows password (not a
power-on password) must be entered to resume from
Standby.
The same word or series of letters or numbers used for an HP
password can be used for another HP password or for a Windows
password, with these considerations:
■ HP passwords can be any combination of up to 32 letters and
numbers and are not case sensitive.
■ An HP password must be set and entered with the same type
of keys. For example, an HP password set with keyboard
number keys will not be recognized if it is entered with
embedded numeric keypad number keys. For information
about the embedded numeric keypad, refer to the “Keypads”
section in Chapter 3, “Pointing Devices and Keyboard.”
Windows Passwords
Administrator password Used to log on to the tablet as the
Windows administrator after Windows
has been configured to prompt for a
password at startup.
User password Used to log on to the tablet PC as
a user after Windows has been
configured to prompt for a password
at startup.
