Using Passwords
Do Not Forget Your Hard Disk Password!
Note the password and keep it in a safe place.
If you forget your hard disk password, there is
no way to reset
your password or recover data in the hard disk drive.
Neither an IBM authorized reseller nor IBM marketing
representative can make the hard disk drive usable.
Removing a Hard Disk Password
The procedure to remove a hard disk password depends on whether
or not it is set to the same password as the power-on password.
When the hard disk password is set the same as the power-on
password:
1
Remove the password by following the steps in “Removing a
Power-On Password” on page 88.
This operation removes both the hard disk password and the
power-on password.
2
If you need a power-on password, reset it in Easy-Setup.
When the hard disk password and the power-on password are
different, or a power-on password has not been set:
1
Turn off the computer and wait at least 5 seconds; then turn it
on.
2
If you have set the power-on password, type it; then press
Enter.
3
When the hard disk password prompt (
) appears, type your
current password; then press the Spacebar.
4
Press Enter.
These steps can be summarized as follows:
Current(space)(Enter)
