Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on the Documentation CD for instructions on clearing passwords. If the system is equiped with an embedded security device, refer to the HP ProtectTools Security Manager Guide at www.hp.com. DriveLock DriveLock, available on some models, is an industry-standard security feature that prevents unauthorized access to the data on MultiBay hard drives. DriveLock has been implemented as an extension to Computer Setup. It is only available when DriveLock-capable hard drives are detected. DriveLock is intended for HP customers for whom data security is the paramount concern. For such customers, the cost of the hard drive and the loss of the data stored on it is inconsequential when compared with the damage that could result from unauthorized access to its contents. In order to balance this level of security with the practical need to accomodate 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 end-user. There is no "back-door" that can be used to unlock the drive if both passwords are lost. Therefore, DriveLock is most safely used when the data contained on the hard drive is replicated on a corporate information system or is regularly backed up. Desktop Management Guide www.hp.com 33
