setting passwords in the hp setup program
You can set passwords to provide different levels of protection for your
workstation: the Administrator password, the User password and the
Power-on password. You set these passwords using the Security menu in
the Setup program.
The Administrator can access and change all settings in the Setup
program, while the User can only access and modify certain items in the
Main menu.
When the Power-on Password option is enabled, you need to enter a
password every time you boot the workstation. Either the Administrator
or User Password can be used.
