@Stilwellgang,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know whether all your passwords will be restored in the SimplePass software after recovery.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
Are you planning to do a refresh or a recovery on the computer? Refresh and recovery are two different things. Recovery will put the computer back to its original factory settings.
The SimplePass software will restore all your passwords and settings if the backup is taken correctly.
Please refer to the below article for more information on HP SimplePass.

NOTE: The article is for the Windows 7 operating system however the steps are the same.
I hope that answers your question and you have a great day!
If you wish to show appreciation for my efforts, mark my post as Accept as Solution. Your feedback counts!
Cheers!
