How to Set BIOS Passwords on a HP Laptop
If the security of your laptop is important to you there are two levels of protection obtainable by setting passwords on
your hp laptop. One level of password security will protect your documents from intrusion, while the second level will
protect your entire laptop from intruders. But since any password security plan is only as strong as the words
themselves, make sure you don't choose passwords that are based on real-life data that could be uncovered with
good sleuthing, like your birth date, or words that could be easily "guessed" by people who know you.
1 At boot up press F1 or F2 and enter the BIOS program.
2 Navigate to "Security". Set a difficult-to-guess but memorable password to lock the laptop completely. Record this
password somewhere secure, separate from your laptop case.
3 Click "Save and Exit" and reboot the computer. When the computer reboots you'll be asked to enter the BIOS
password before Windows will load to your desktop. There is no way the average person can defeat this BIOS
password, not even by using the well-known "Safe Mode Workaround" available in Windows XP.
4 Click on "Start" and then "Control Panel".
5 Click on the "User Accounts" icon. Enter your preferred User Name (or nickname) and enter a suitable password.
Most people make the mistake of using the same password universally; frustrate intruders by entering a password that
is different from the password you entered for the BIOS.
6 Set the administrative clearance for this account. Since you are the owner of the laptop, give yourself full
"Administrative" powers by checking that box. You, as the administrator, can also limit the powers and access of others
who may use or "visit" your hp laptop: click the "Limited Account" setting to restrict the access of other users. Click
"Save" and exit Control Panel.
7 Click "Start" and then "Restart" to reboot your laptop properly and "set" these changes. When your hp reboots you
will have to enter the BIOS password to load Windows.
8 Enter your personal account password next to open your personal Windows User Account and start using your hp.
