    Remove any media such as USB flash drives or discs in the optical drives. Insert a BIOS image CD into the DVD drive. You can also use USB media such as an HP DriveKey. Turn the computer off, and then turn it on.

  • Page 47: Sata Hard Drive Security

    To balance this level of security with the need to address the issue of a forgotten 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 used by the user.

  • Page 48: Using Drivelock

    DriveLock is typically performed by a system administrator, a master password should be set first. 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.

  • Page 49: Password Security

    In a single-drive computer, when DriveLock is enabled, the computer might not be able to boot to the operating system, and might try to boot from the network or from another storage device (depending on the boot ordering options). Regardless of the outcome of the start attempts, the locked drive remains inaccessible without the DriveLock password.
