The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock, controlled by the setup password. This lock prevents unauthorized access to the internal components. The computer ships with the Smart Cover Lock in the unlocked position.

If you enable the Smart Cover Lock and cannot enter your password to disable the lock, you will need a Smart Cover FailSafe Key to open the computer cover. You will need the key to access the internal computer components in any of the following circumstances:

●Power outage

●Startup failure

●PC component (for example, processor or power supply) failure

●Forgotten password

NOTE: The Smart Cover FailSafe Key is a specialized tool available from HP. Be prepared; order this key before you need it.
