Page 50: Deleting A Power-On Or Setup Password
Deleting a power-on or setup password Power on or restart the workstation. Choose from the following: ● To delete the power-on password, when the key icon appears, enter your current password followed by a slash (/) or alternative delimiter character: current password/.
Page 51: Drivelock
DriveLock CAUTION: Enabling DriveLock can render a hard drive permanently inaccessible if the master password is lost or forgotten. No method exists to recover the password or access the data. DriveLock uses an industry-standard security feature that prevents unauthorized access to data on an ATA hard drive.
Page 52 HP encourages system administrators to set a master password whether they plan to enable DriveLock or not. This gives the administrator the ability to modify DriveLock settings if the drive is locked in the future. After the master password is set, the system administrator can enable DriveLock or leave it disabled.
Page 53: Hood Lock Solenoid (Smart Cover Lock)
In a two-drive workstation that has a boot drive and a data drive, you can apply the DriveLock feature to the data drive only. In this case, the workstation can always boot, but the data drive is accessible only when the DriveLock password is entered. Cold boots require that you enter DriveLock passwords.
