Desktop Management Guide Clearing Passwords If you forget the password, you cannot access the computer. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on clearing passwords. If the system is equiped with an embedded security device, refer to "Embedded Security." Embedded Security ProtectTools Embedded Security combines encryption and password protection to provide enhanced security for Embedded File System (EFS) file/folder encryption and secure e-mail with Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. ProtectTools is available for selected business desktops as Configured-To-Order (CTO) options. It is intended for HP customers for whom compromised data is the paramount concern: unauthorized access to data presents a far greater danger than the loss of the data. ProtectTools uses four passwords: ■ (F10) Setup-to enter Computer Setup (F10) Utility and enable/disable ProtectTools ■ Take Ownership-to be set and used by a system administrator, who will authorize users and set security parameters ■ Emergency Recovery Token-to be set by the system administrator, will permit recovery in the event of computer or ProtectTools chip failure ■ Basic User-to be set and used by the end user. ✎ If the end user's password is lost, the encrypted data cannot be recovered. Therefore, ProtectTools is most safely used when the data contained on the user's drive is replicated on a system information system or is regularly backed up. ProtectTools Embedded Security is a TCPA 1.1-compliant security chip optionally installed on the system board of selected business desktops. Each ProtectTools Embedded Security chip is unique and is bound to a specific computer. Each chip performs key security processes independent of other computer components (such as processor, memory or operating system). 30 www.hp.com Desktop Management Guide
