Setting up the basic user account

Setting up a basic user account in Embedded Security accomplishes the following tasks:

●Produces a Basic User Key that protects encrypted information, and sets a Basic User Key password to protect the Basic User Key.

●Sets up a personal secure drive (PSD) for storing encrypted files and folders.

CAUTION: Safeguard the Basic User Key password. Encrypted information cannot be accessed or recovered without this password.

To set up a basic user account and enable the user security features:

1.If the Embedded Security User Initialization Wizard is not open, click Start, click All Programs, click HP, and then click HP ProtectTools Security Manager.

2.In the left pane, click Embedded Security, and then click User Settings.

3.In the right pane, under Embedded Security Features, click Configure. The Embedded Security User Initialization Wizard opens.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: To use secure e-mail, you must first configure the e-mail client to use a digital certificate that is created with Embedded Security. If a digital certificate is not available, you must obtain one from a certification authority. For instructions on configuring your e-mail and obtaining a digital certificate, refer to the e-mail client software Help.
