Unlocking the Smart Cover Lock
The Smart Cover Lock is an optional feature and is available on select models only.
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 Desktop Management
guide.
Using the Smart Cover FailSafe Key
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 (for example, processor or power suppy) failure
Forgotten password
CAUTION: The Smart Cover FailSafe Key is a specialized tool available from HP. Be
prepared; order this key before you need one.
