Security Platform not initialized

I keep getting warned about this. When I go to do something about it, it prompts me for an "owner password". I have no idea what this is. Any suggestions? Was I given an owner password when I bought my laptop? I don't remember anything about it.

Are you sure you never set a password at any point? if not the follow the steps above to turn it off,.

Its basically a hardware level encryption thing, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. It may require a trip into the bios to turn it off though...
