The ProtectTools user can select security levels, as well as the type of security authentication required at each security

level. Either a Windows password or a fingerprint can be used for authentication.

NOTE: Fingerprint authentication can be enabled only through the ProtectTools software.

ProtectTools user privileges include the following:

 Using the Windows password and other security tokens to authenticate and boot the BIOS. If enabled, the One Step

Logon feature lets the user log all the way into Windows using the Windows password or security tokens.

 Using the Windows password to access f10 BIOS setup, based on permissions set up by the BIOS administrator.

To set up preboot authentication:

1. Follow the prompts in the Security Manager setup wizard to set up passwords, HP SpareKey, and biometric

authentication such as fingerprint recognition.

2. Enable preboot authentication for the BIOS. You can also enable Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools using the

same wizard.

The BIOS will now prompt the ProtectTools user for a Windows password or fingerprint during boot.
