To set PC identification
Pavilion models
HP TopTools and PC identification are not supported on all Pavilion models.
You must have BIOS administrator password authority to set a PC identification number.
1. If you have not already installed HP TopTools, do so now. See “To set up TopTools”
on page 153.
2. Click Start, Programs (or All Programs), HP TopTools Agent.
3. In the “Identification String” box, type a unique set of characters that will identify
your PC. You can type up to 80 characters including spaces and special characters.
Do not press ENTER when typing.

5. Type your BIOS administrator password and press ENTER.
To lock the hard disk drive
The computer enables you to lock its internal hard disk drive to help keep your
information secure. Hard disk drive lock does not protect a second hard disk drive
installed in the module bay.
CAUTION
When you enable hard disk drive lock, the current BIOS user password (or
administrator password if that is the only password set) is encoded on the hard
disk drive.
If you move the hard disk drive to another computer, you can’t access the drive until
you set the user (or administrator) password to match the drive’s password. After you
match the drive’s password, you can change the computer (and drive) password. If
you forget the password, you cannot recover your data.
1. Click Start, Shut Down (or Turn Off Computer), Restart.
2. When the HP logo appears, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
3. From the Security menu, enable Password Required to Boot.
4. From the Security menu, enable Internal hard disk drive lock.
5. Press F10 to save and exit BIOS Setup.
