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.
