HP ProtectTools Troubleshooting Guide
HP ProtectTools Credential 
Manager—Using 
Credential Manager 
Network Accounts option, 
a user can select which 
domain account to log into. 
When TPM authentication 
is used, this option is not 
available. All other 
authentication methods 
work properly.
Using TPM authentication, the 
user is only logged into the 
local machine.
Using Credential Manager Single Sign On tools 
allows user to authenticate other accounts.
HP ProtectTools Embedded 
Security—Automated logon 
scripts not functioning 
during user restore in 
Embedded Security
The error occurs after user
1. Initializes owner and user 
in Embedded Security 
(using the default 
locations—My 
Documents).
2. Resets the chip to factory 
settings in the BIOS.
3. Reboots the machine.
4. Begins to restore 
Embedded Security. 
During the restore 
process, Credential 
Manager 1.5.0.631.35 
asks user if the system 
can automate the logon 
to Infineon TPM User 
Authentication. If user 
selects Yes, then the 
location of 
SPEmRecToken 
automatically appears in 
the text box.
Even though this location is 
correct, the following error 
message is displayed: No 
Emergency Recovery 
Token is provided. 
Select the token location 
the Emergency Recovery 
Token should be 
retrieved from.
Use the Browse button to select the location, 
and the restore process proceeds.
