HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Guide
In most cases, the IT System Administrator initializes the Embedded
Security chip.
1. Right-click the HP ProtectTools icon in the system tray, then
left-click Embedded Security Initialization.
The HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Initialization
Wizard appears.
2. Click Next.
3. Type and confirm a Take Ownership password, then click Next.
Type carefully; for security reasons, the characters typed do not
appear on the screen.
4. Click Next to accept the default Recovery archive location.
5. Type and confirm an Emergency Recovery Token password, then
click Next.
6. Click Browse and select the appropriate destination.
CAUTION: The Emergency Recovery Token Key is used to recover
encrypted data in the event of a computer or embedded security chip
failure. The data cannot be recovered without the key. (The data still
cannot be accessed without the Basic User password.) Store this Key in a
safe place.
7. Click Save to accept the location and the default file name, then
click Next.
8. Click Next to confirm settings before the Security Platform is
initialized.
CAUTION: A message may be displayed to say that the Embedded
Security features are not initialized. Do not click in the message; this is
addressed later in the procedure and the message will close after a few
seconds.
