Q: Can I protect my Seagate hard drive with a password?
A: Yes, it is possible to protect the hard drive or individual folders and files with a password. There are
many third-party solutions for password protection. However, Seagate cannot guarantee them since we do
not test third-party applications.
Some versions of Windows have a built-in utility called Bitlocker that can protect hard drives with a
password. For more information about Bitlocker, consult
