To apply DriveLock protection to an internal hard drive, a user password and a master password
must be set in Computer Setup. Note the following considerations about using DriveLock protection:
●
After DriveLock protection is applied to a hard drive, the hard drive can be accessed only by
entering either the user password or the master password.
●
The owner of the user password should be the day-to-day user of the protected hard drive. The
owner of the master password may be either a system administrator or the day-to-day user.
●
The user password and the master password can be identical.
●
You can delete a user password or master password only by removing DriveLock protection
from the drive. DriveLock protection can be removed from the drive only with the master
password.
