To enable hard disk drive lock

Hard disk drive lock helps you keep your information secure. Hard disk drive lock does
not protect a second hard disk drive installed in the module bay.
When you enable hard disk drive lock, the current user password (or
administrator password if that is the only password set) is encoded on the hard
disk drive.
If you move the hard disk drive to another OmniBook, you can't access the drive until
you set the user (or administrator) password to match the drive's password. After you
match the drive's password, you can change the OmniBook (and drive) password.
If you forget the password, your data cannot be recovered by you or by Hewlett-
Packard.
1. From the Start menu, shut down, then restart the OmniBook.
2. When you see the HP logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
3. From the Security menu, enable Password Required To Boot.
4. From the Security menu, enable Hard Disk Drive Lock.
5. Press F10 to save and exit the BIOS Setup utility.
