HP x2 1011 G1 manual Setting a DriveLock password

Page 63

NOTE: A BIOS Administrator password must be set before you can access the DriveLock features.

To apply DriveLock protection to an internal hard drive, a user password and a master password must be set in Computer Setup. Note the following considerations about using DriveLock protection:

●After DriveLock protection is applied to a hard drive, the hard drive can be accessed only by entering either the user password or the master password.

●The owner of the user password should be the day-to-day user of the protected hard drive. The owner of the master password may be either a system administrator or the day-to-day user.

●The user password and the master password can be identical.

●You can delete a user password or master password only by removing DriveLock protection from the drive. DriveLock protection can be removed from the drive only with the master password.
