About Passwords
A primary password, an administrator password, and a hard drive password all prevent unauthorized access to your computer in different ways. The following
table identifies types and features of passwords available on your computer.
If you forget any of your passwords, contact your system administrator or contact Dell. For your protection, Dell technical support staff will ask you for proof of
your identity to ensure that only an authorized person can use the computer.
Using a Primary/System Password
The primary (system) password allows you to protect the computer from unauthorized access.
Access User Accounts from the Control Panel to create user accounts and add or change passwords. After assigning a primary password, you must enter it
each time you turn on your computer.
If you do not enter a password within 2 minutes, the computer returns to its previous operating state.
If you have assigned an administrator password, you can use it instead of the primary password. The computer does not specifically prompt you for the
administrator password.
Using an Administrator Password
NOTE: Passwords are disabled when you receive your computer.
Type of
Password
Features

l Gives system administrators or service technicians access to computers for repair or
reconfiguration
l Allows you to restrict access to system setup in the same way a primary password
restricts access to the computer
l Can be used instead of the primary password
Hard drive
l Helps protect the data on your hard drive or external hard drive (if one is being
used) from unauthorized access
NOTE: OnlyharddrivespurchasedfromDellforusewiththeDell™Latitude™D-Family computers support hard drive passwords.
NOTICE: Passwords provide a high level of security for data in your computer or hard drive. However, they are not foolproof. If you require more
security, obtain and use additional forms of protection, such as smart cards, data encryption programs, or PC Cards with encryption features.
NOTICE: If you disable the administrator password, the primary password is also disabled.
