Ran into an issue this Am with trying to enable TPM or Trusted Platform Module on a new Zbook from HP. If you hit ESC then BIOS Options, then Security you will see that TPM, User Management and a few other options are greyed out. Turns out you must set a BIOS Password in order to change those options.
Stupid move HP but whatever I guess, at least now I can encrypt the drive.
Here it is almost 2 years later and just wanted to let you know that your post saved my bacon. HP Tech support did not seem to know this. I notice on newer ZBook G3 and Elitebook G3 models that setting the BIOS Admin password is not a requirement any longer -- you have access to the TPM by default.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Randal. Yeah I recall having a very hard time figuring this out, but the solution was one of those last-ditch-this-shouldn't-work-but-Ill-try-it-anyways sort of things. I do appreciate your letting me know I helped you out.
