Security Security Preferences in Computer Setup Most security preferences are set in Computer Setup. Because Computer Setup is a non-Windows utility, it does not support the pointing devices on your notebook. When using Computer Setup, you must use the keys on your notebook to navigate and make selections. For more information about Computer Setup, refer to Chapter 13, "Computer Setup." Passwords Most security features use passwords. Whenever you set a password, record the password and store it in a secure location away from the notebook. ■ If you forget your power-on password and your HP administrator password, you cannot start up the notebook or restore from hibernation. Call Customer Care or your service partner for additional information. ■ If you forget your HP administrator password, you will not be able to access Computer Setup. ■ If you forget the DriveLock user password but know your DriveLock master password, you can remove DriveLock protection from the drive. For instructions, refer to the "DriveLock" section, later in this chapter. 12-4 Hardware and Software Guide
