Security—Cannot encrypt
any data in the Windows
2000 French (France)
environment.
There is no Encrypt selection
when right-clicking a file icon.
This is a Microsoft operating system limitation. If
the locale is changed to anything else (French
(Canada), for example), then the Encrypt
selection will appear.
To work around the problem, encrypt the file as
follows: right-click the file icon and select
Property > Advanced > Encrypt
Contents.

initialized since the
Embedded Security
chip has already an
Embedded Security

Security—Computer Setup
(F10) Utility password can
be removed after enabling
TPM Module
Enabling the TPM module
requires a Computer Setup
(F10) Utility password. Once
the module has been
enabled, the user can remove
the password. This allows
anyone with direct access to
the system to reset the TPM
module and cause possible
loss of data.
This is as designed.
The Computer Setup (F10) Utility password can
only be removed by a user who knows the
password. However, HP strongly recommends
having the Computer Setup (F10) Utility
password protected at all times.
