Setting a hard disk drive password
Your computer comes with a program preinstalled that lets you set
two types of hard disk drive passwords, User and Master. These
passwords protect your hard disk as follows:
❖
Setting a hard disk drive User password prevents an
unauthorized user from accessing your hard disk, even if it is
removed and installed on another computer. This password
does not encrypt data on the hard disk.
❖ Setting a hard disk drive Master password lets you bypass the
hard disk drive User password and access your hard disk, in
case you forget the hard disk drive User password. If you
choose to set a hard disk drive Master password, you must set
it before you set a hard disk drive User password.
HINT: The hard disk drive shipped with your computer may
not support the Master password feature. When you attempt
to set Master password protection, your computer will alert
you that this feature is not supported by your drive. If this
happens and you want to establish a Master password for
your hard disk, contact your network administrator for
instructions.
