.
If neither a fingerprint reader nor a smart card is available, you are prompted to enter your Windows
password. You must use this password in the future whenever authentication is required.
If you have not yet created a Windows password, you are prompted to create one. A Windows
password is required in order to protect your Windows account from access by unauthorized
persons, and in order to use HP ProtectTools Security Manager features.

The Setup Wizard guides you through the process of setting up security features that apply to all
users of the computer:
●
Windows Logon Security protects your Windows accounts by requiring the use of specific
credentials for access.
●
Drive Encryption protects your data by encrypting your hard drives, making the information
unreadable by those without proper authorization.
●
Pre-Boot Security protects your computer by prohibiting access by unauthorized persons prior
to Windows startup.
NOTE:
Pre-Boot Security is not available if your computer BIOS does not support it.
To enable a security feature, select its check box. The more features that you select, the more
secure your computer is.

right of the taskbar (unless you have disabled it) until setup has been completed.
