Passwords
Most security features use passwords. Whenever you set a
password, write down the password and store it in a secure
location away from the notebook.

If you forget your power-on password and your

notebook or restore from Hibernation. Call Customer Care
or your authorized service partner for additional information.

able to access the Setup utility.

If you forget the DriveLock password the hard drive is
permanently locked and can no longer be used.
