Using DriveLock
When one or more hard drives that support the ATA security command set are detected, the DriveLock
option appears under the Security menu in Computer Setup (F10). You are presented with options to
set the master password and to enable DriveLock. A user password must be provided to enable
DriveLock. Since the initial configuration of DriveLock is typically performed by a system administrator,
a master password should be set first. HP encourages system administrators to set a master password
whether they plan to enable DriveLock or not. This gives the administrator the ability to modify DriveLock
settings if the drive is locked in the future. Once the master password is set, the system administrator
might enable DriveLock or choose to leave it disabled.
If a locked hard drive is present, POST requires a password to unlock the device. If a power-on password
is set and it matches the device’s user password, POST does not prompt the user to re-enter the
password. Otherwise, the user is prompted to enter a DriveLock password. For a cold-boot, use the
master or user password. For a warm-boot, you must enter the same password used to unlock the drive
during the preceding cold-boot. Users are given two attempts to enter a correct password. During cold-
boot, if neither attempt succeeds, POST continues but the drive remains inaccessible. During a warm-
boot or restart from Windows, if neither attempt succeeds, POST halts and the user is instructed to cycle
power.
To enable and set the DriveLock user password:
1. Power on or restart the workstation.
2. As soon as the workstation is powered on, press and hold the F10 key until you enter the Computer
Setup (F10) Utility. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the workstation,
and then press and hold the F10 key again to access the utility.
If you are using a PS2 keyboard, you might see a keyboard error message—disregard it.
3. Select Security>DriveLock Security.
4. For each DriveLock-capable drive, select a drive by pressing the F10 key to accept.
5. Under Enable/Disable DriveLock options, select Enable, and then press the F10 key to enable
DriveLock for a particular drive.
CAUTION: Forgetting the DriveLock password renders the drive unusable.
6. Enter a new user password, and then press the F10 key to accept. This password may be 1 to 32
characters long.
7. Enter the password again in the Enter New Password Again field. If you forget this password, the
drive is rendered permanently disabled.
8. Select File>Save Changes and Exit, and then press the F10 key. After you press the F10 key,
the system performs a cold-boot before invoking the DriveLock function.
NOTE: This process can also be used to set the DriveLock master password by selecting Master in
Step 5.
When the workstation starts, you are prompted to enter the DriveLock password for each DriveLock-
capable drive for which you have previously set a password. You are given two attempts to enter the
password correctly. If the password is not entered correctly, the workstation attempts to boot anyway.
However, the boot process most likely fails because data from a locked drive cannot be accessed.
