About Drive Lock
Setting the user password, and activating either Turn On password option (page 1-12),
writes an encrypted version of the user password to the hard disk drive. No OmniBook will
be able to read this disk until the password is entered.
Avoid altering your password while copying files.
If a protected hard disk drive is transferred to an OmniBook with a different
password, press F2 during the boot process and change the user password to
match the password on the hard disk.
If a protected hard disk drive is transferred to an OmniBook without a
password, press F2 during the boot process and add a user password to match
the password on the hard disk.
If an unprotected hard disk drive is transferred to an OmniBook containing a
user password, press F2 during the boot process and reenter the user password.
You can reenter your same password in the Old Password, New Password and
Verify New Password fields. If you do not, your hard disk drive will be
unprotected.
HP can remove forgotten passwords. Refer to the Chapter on OmniBook
support.
Store a copy of your password in a safe place. Without the password, you
will be unable to retrieve your data.
