HP SpareKey

HP SpareKey helps you, or the administrator of the computer, recover lost system passwords, such as the power-on, drive lock, or BIOS passwords. When setting up the SpareKey, you are prompted to provide answers for a sequence of three predetermined personal identification questions.

The HP SpareKey uses these questions to identify you if you need to reset the passwords. Examples of the personal identification questions presented by HP SpareKey are listed below:
-What is your mother's maiden name?
-What was the name of your first pet?
-What is your father's middle name?

It is very important to write down the answers to these questions and put them in a safe place, away from the computer, so that you can always access them.

HP SpareKey cannot help you recover a Windows 7 or Vista administrator account password. It is intended solely to recover system-level passwords.

This feature is available on most HP laptops.

Manage your laptop battery power

There are actions you can take to make your laptop battery last longer. HP always recommends following the instructions for charging and storage that came with the battery or laptop.

Tips for conserving battery power on laptop PCs:

You can manually change the power consumption of your notebook PC and conserve battery power.

- Reduce the brightness of the screen to the minimum readable level. Use the function keys on the top of your keyboard to adjust the brightness.
- Remove peripherals when not in use. External hard drives, CD-ROMs, Zip drives, PC cards, and other peripheral devices can draw power from your battery even when they are not in active use. Disconnect them when you have finished using them.
- Turn off the Wireless On-Off button when it is not in use. If your laptop has one, press the Wireless On-Off button so that the light turns off.
- Remove the battery if the laptop will be stored (turned off and not plugged into AC power) for more than 2 weeks.
- Remove the battery if the laptop will be plugged into AC power continuously (via a wall adapter or docking station) for more than 2 weeks.
- Calibrate your battery. (We will cover this in our next Battery post)
