Hints for Using Passwords
The system administrator should not let the users know the
supervisor password or the hard disk password.
The users can use the SelectaDock system without entering either
the supervisor password or the hard disk password.
If users do not know the passwords, no user can reset or change
the hard disk password for the drive in the docking station, and no
users are able to change the computer configuration.
However, if users want to use their own supervisor password or
hard disk passwords:
1. The administrator sets the hard disk password for the drive to
be shared and informs all users of the password.
2. The administrator does not set supervisor passwords for the
user's computers.
3. When a user turns on a computer docked with the shared
system, the computer prompts for the hard disk password.
The user must enter the correct password.
4. Users can set their own passwords for any other hard disk
drives installed in their own computer, or they can set their
own supervisor password.
When users use the shared system, they must cold dock their
computer.
