Manual logon
If the automatic logon is disabled by the network administrator, log on as follows:
1. In the Log On to Windows dialog box, type your information in the User Name and Password
boxes. For a user, the initial user name and password are both User. For an administrator, the
initial user name and password are both Administrator.
2. Click OK.
Note the following considerations:
●
To prevent unauthorized access to your information, change your password as soon as possible
after setup.
● Passwords are case sensitive, but user names are not.
Administrator logon
To access the administrator logon screen in either automatic or manual logon mode, follow these
steps:
1. Press and hold down the left shift key, and then click Start.
2. Click Shut Down, and then click Log Off.
The Administrator logon screen is displayed.
You can use the HP Windows Logon Configuration Manager to permanently modify the default logon
user.
Setting passwords in Computer Setup

Setup password Protects access to Computer Setup.
Power-on password Protects access to the computer contents when the

Using a setup password
The setup password in Computer Setup protects the configuration settings and system identification
information in Computer Setup. After this password is set, it must be entered to access Computer
Setup and to make changes using Computer Setup.
Note the following characteristics of the setup password:
●
It is not interchangeable with a Windows administrator password, although both passwords can
be identical.
● It is masked as it is set, entered, changed, or deleted.
● It must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, a setup password set with
keyboard number keys will not be recognized if you enter it thereafter with embedded numeric
keypad number keys.
●
It can include any combination of up to 32 letters and numbers and is not case sensitive.
