5. One or more of the following pages will be displayed, depending on the levels of security you chose
in step 4.
● Protect your Windows account - The Windows password is required because Security
Manager must synchronize the password for each level of security.
Enter and confirm a Windows password, or enter your password if one has already been
established, and then click Next.
● Protect your system before Windows start-up (optional) - If you or the user knows the BIOS
administrator password, the BIOS administrator password can be entered. If the BIOS
administrator password is entered, the Windows administrator or user becomes a BIOS
administrator.
NOTE: If a BIOS administrator password does not exist, you must establish one before you
can continue. When a BIOS administrator password is entered, you will become a BIOS
administrator.
Enter and confirm a BIOS administrator password, or enter the password if one has already
been established. Then click Next.
● Protect your data by encrypting your hard drive - You must use a USB storage device to save
the encryption key. Select the drive(s) to be encrypted (at least one drive must be selected),
insert the storage device into the appropriate slot, select the storage device where the
encryption key will be saved, then click Next.
6. Choose one or more security login methods on the “Set Security Login Methods” page.
a. Under Step 1, select one or more security login methods.
NOTE: The selections apply to both administrators and users.
b. Under Step 2, if you want to increase security, select the check box to require all of the security
login methods you selected under Step 1 when logging in to the computer.
If you want any one of the selected security login methods to be permissible when logging in
to the computer, do not select the check box.
CAUTION: If you select the check box and a user has not yet configured his or her login
methods (Windows password, fingerprint authentication, and/or the HP ProtectTools Java™
Card), that user will not be able to log in to the computer. It is recommended that all users first
configure their login methods before this option is selected.
c. Click Next. A summary page opens, allowing you to review your selections.
7. Click Enable on the “Review and Enable Security Settings” page.
When you click Enable, the computer sets your security choices. You will not be able to return to
any of the preceding wizard pages until security setup is complete. After you complete the wizard,
you can change your settings by running the wizard again.
