customers, the cost of a hard drive and the loss of the data stored on it is inconsequential when compared
to the damage that could result from unauthorized access to its contents.

password, the HP implementation of DriveLock employs a two-password security scheme. One
password is intended to be set and used by a system administrator, while the other is typically set and
