Power Interface (ACPI) represents a significant innovation in power and configuration management, allowing operating systems and applications to manage power based on activity and usage. HP Compaq nc6000 and nc8000 models use ACPI to provide power conservation features under Windows XP and Windows 2000.
The F10 administrator password, also known as the setup password, prevents unauthorized changes to the system configuration. If the administrator password is not known, F10 Setup Utility is inaccessible. If this password is enabled, users are restricted from modifying DriveLock.

DriveLock

DriveLock is a security feature that offers advanced protection against unauthorized access to valuable data on internal notebook hard drives. Two passwords control access to the hard drives, which provide customers with a means to unlock a protected drive if the day-to-day user password has been lost. Hard drives protected with DriveLock remain protected even if removed from the notebook. Features and settings are accessed through the F10 Setup Utility. For more information about DriveLock, refer to the white paper, Drivelock Hard Drive Protection on HP Notebooks, 5981- 9417EN, July 2003.
