The master hard disk password also requires a user hard disk password. The master hard disk password
is usually set and used by a system administrator. It enables the administrator to access any hard disk
drive or hybrid drive in a system like a master key. The administrator sets the master password; then
assigns a user password for each computer in the network. The user can then change the user password
as desired, but the administrator still can get access by using the master password.
When a master hard disk password is set, only the administrator can remove the user hard disk password.
