For instructions about clearing passwords, see Resetting the password jumper on page 152. DriveLock WARNING! Enabling DriveLock can render a hard drive permanently inaccessible if the master password is lost or forgotten. No method exists to recover the password or access the data. DriveLock uses an industry-standard security feature that prevents unauthorized access to data on an ATA hard drive. DriveLock has been implemented as an extension to Computer Setup (F10) 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 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. To balance this level of security with the 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 user. No "back door" 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. If both DriveLock passwords are lost, the hard drive is rendered unusable. For users who do not fit the previously defined customer profile, this might not be acceptable. For users who fit this profile, it might be a tolerable risk, given the nature of the data stored on the hard drive. DriveLock applications The most practical use of DriveLock is in a corporate environment. The system administrator would be responsible for configuring the hard drive, which involves setting the DriveLock master password and ENWW Workstation management 41
