Securing Your Computer

To protect against viruses

Virus-protection software can help protect the integrity of your data. This is especially important if you use the Web.

Your computer comes equipped with Norton AntiVirus software. You can get detailed instructions from the software’s online Help.

	To lock the hard disk drive
	The computer enables you to lock its internal hard disk drive to help keep your
	information secure. Hard disk drive lock does not protect a second hard disk drive
	installed in the module bay.

CAUTION	When you enable hard disk drive lock, the current BIOS user password (or
	administrator password if that is the only password set) is encoded on the hard
	disk drive.

If you move the hard disk drive to another computer, you can’t access the drive until you set the user (or administrator) password to match the drive’s password . After you match the drive’s password, you can change the computer (and drive) password. If you forget the password, you cannot recover your data.

1.Click Start, Turn Off Computer, Restart.

2.When the HP logo appears, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.

3.From the Security menu, enable Password Required to Boot.

4.From the Security menu, enable Internal hard disk drive lock.

5.Press F10 to save and exit BIOS Setup.
