Turning On the Computer for the First Time
51
Don’t use personal information that others can easily figure out, such as your birthday,
child’s name, or phone number.
Don’t write down passwords unless you store them in a secure place away from the
computer. Do not store passwords in a file on the computer.
You can use the same password for more than one Windows Vista security feature.
A password can have any combination of up to eight letters and numbers, and it is not
case sensitive.
A password must be set and entered with the same keys. For example, if you set the
password with number keys on the keyboard, the password is not recognized if you
subsequently try to enter it with the embedded numeric keypad.
A password set in Windows Vista must be entered at a Windows Vista prompt.
The following table lists the Windows Vista passwords and describes their functions. For
information on how to set passwords, see “Using passwords.” For additional information
on Windows Vista passwords, such as screen saver passwords, type
passwords
into the
Search Help box in the Help and Support Center.
NOTE:
Select models include a separate numeric keypad, which functions exactly like
the keyboard number keys, except in the case of passwords.
