Setting a password for your HP laptop prevents unauthorized people from accessing your files. If you have never created a password on your device, you may be using the default password. What is the Default Admin Password on HP Laptop? EaseUS will give you a solution about HP Default Admin Password in detail, including how to reset the admin password on an HP laptop.
What Is Default Admin Password on HP Laptop
The default password refers to the pre-configured password for the device, such as "123", "password," or "admin." The initial password is not fixed. If you didn't set a password when you installed the system, the default password may be empty or "password."
But since the release of Windows Vista in 2007, there is no default administrator account. Suppose your HP laptop uses an older version of Windows (e.g., Windows XP). In that case, you can use the default administrator password by pressing the Enter key without typing anything in the password field or writing "password" in the box. If this does not work, the password may have changed. Please reset the HP administrator password.
