Getting started

NOTE: Administration of HP ProtectTools requires administrative privileges.
The HP ProtectTools Setup Wizard guides you through setting up the most commonly used features of
Security Manager. However, there is a wealth of additional functionality available through the HP
ProtectTools Administrative Console. The same settings found in the wizard, as well as additional
security features, can be configured through the console, which is accessed from the Windows® Start
menu. These settings apply to the computer and all users who share the computer.
1. On the Welcome page, you can disable further display of the wizard by selecting one of the options.
2. After a week of setting up the computer, or when a user with administrative rights swipes a finger
on the fingerprint reader for the first time, the HP ProtectTools Setup Wizard will start automatically
to guide you through the basic steps in configuring the program. A video tutorial on setting up your
computer starts automatically.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions until setup is complete.
If you do not complete the wizard, it will automatically launch twice more. After that, you can access the
wizard from the notification balloon that appears near the taskbar notification area (unless you have
disabled it as described in step 2 above) until setup has been completed.
To use the HP ProtectTools Security Manager applications, launch HP ProtectTools Security Manager
from the Start menu or right-click the Security Manager icon in the notification area, located at the far
right of the taskbar. HP ProtectTools Administrative Console and its applications are available to all
users who share this computer.
