Getting started with the Setup Wizard
The HP ProtectTools Setup Wizard guides you through setting up the most commonly used features of
Security Manager. However, there is a wealth of additional functionality available through the HP
ProtectTools Administrative Console. The same settings found in the wizard, as well as additional
security features, can be configured through the console, which is accessed from the Windows® Start
menu. These settings apply to the computer and all users who share the computer.

A week after initial computer setup, when you log on, or when a user with administrative rights
swipes a finger on the fingerprint reader for the first time, the Security Manager Setup Wizard starts
automatically to guide you through the basic steps in configuring the program. A video tutorial on
setting up the computer starts automatically.
