situation where an employee intentionally or unintentionally sets both
DriveLock passwords before leaving the company. In such a scenario,
the hard drive would be rendered unusable and require replacement.
Likewise, by not setting a master password, system administrators
may find themselves locked out of a hard drive and unable to perform
routine checks for unauthorized software, other asset control
functions, and support.
For users with less stringent security requirements, HP does not
recommend enabling DriveLock. Users in this category include
personal users or users who do not maintain sensitive data on their
hard drives as a common practice. For these users, the potential loss
of a hard drive resulting from forgetting both passwords is much
greater than the value of the data DriveLock has been designed to
protect. Access to Computer Setup and DriveLock can be restricted
through the Setup password. By specifying a Setup password and not
giving it to end users, system administrators are able to restrict users
from enabling DriveLock.
