CAUTION:
To prevent the DriveLock-protected hard drive from becoming permanently unusable,
record the DriveLock user password and the DriveLock master password in a safe place away from
your computer. If you forget both DriveLock passwords, the hard drive will be permanently locked and
can no longer be used.

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:
