●
Green check mark - Indicates that the user has configured the required security login method(s).
●
Red X - Indicates that the user has not configured a required security login method and will be
locked out of the computer when trying to log in. The user must run the setup wizard to configure
the required login method(s).
●
Blank - Indicates that a security login method is not required.

Encrypting Drives
Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools allows you to encrypt computer hard drives, making the hard drive
unreadable and inaccessible to any unauthorized person who might try to access it even if the drive has
been removed from the computer or sent to a data recovery service.
To enable or disable Drive Encryption, click on the Setup Wizard in the Administrative Console.
CAUTION:
It is important that you back up encryption keys to a USB flash drive and store the device
in a safe place. If you forget your password, this device provides your only access to your hard drive.
