No method exists to recover the password or access the data. DriveLock uses an industry-standard security feature that prevents unauthorized access to the data on an ATA hard drive. DriveLock has been implemented as an extension to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility functions. It is only available when hard drives that support the ATA security command set are detected. On HP workstations, it is not available when the SATA emulation mode is RAID+AHCI or RAID. DriveLock is intended for HP customers for whom data security is a paramount concern. For such customers, the cost of a hard drive and the loss of the data stored on it is inconsequential when compared to the damage that could result from unauthorized access to its contents. In order to balance this level of security with the practical need to address the issue of 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.

CAUTION:
The DriveLock security feature can render a hard drive permanently inaccessible if the

DriveLock uses an industry-standard security feature that prevents unauthorized access to the data on
an ATA hard drive. DriveLock has been implemented as an extension to the Computer Setup (F10)
Utility functions. It is only available when hard drives that support the ATA security command set are
detected. On HP workstations, it is not available when the SATA emulation mode is RAID+AHCI or
