Using the Smart Cover FailSafe Key

The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock,
controlled by the setup password. This lock prevents
unauthorized access to the internal components. The computer
ships with the Smart Cover Lock in the unlocked position. For
more information about locking the Smart Cover Lock, refer to
the Software Reference Guide.
If you enable the Smart Cover Lock and cannot enter your
password to disable the lock, you will need a Smart Cover
FailSafe Key to open the computer cover. You will need the key
in any of the following circumstances:
Power outage
Startup failure
PC component (e.g., processor or power supply) failure
Forgotten password
CAUTION:
The Smart Cover FailSafe Key is a specialized tool
available from Compaq. Be prepared; order this key before you
need one.
