DriveLock
Ä
CAUTION:
If you forget both the DriveLock user password and the
DriveLock master password, the hard drive is permanently locked and
can no longer be used.
DriveLock prevents unauthorized access to the contents of a
hard drive. After DriveLock protection is applied to a drive,
a password must be entered to access the drive. The drive must be
inserted into the notebook, not into an optional docking device
(select models only) or external MultiBay, in order for it to be
accessed by the DriveLock passwords.
DriveLock requires a user password and a master password
defined in Computer Setup:
■
A hard drive protected by DriveLock can be accessed with
either the user password or the master password.
■
You can delete a user password or master password only by
removing DriveLock protection from the drive. DriveLock
protection can be removed from the drive only with the
master password.
■
The owner of the user password should be the day-to-day
user of the protected hard drive. The owner of the master
password may be a system administrator or the day-to-day
user.
■
A user password and a master password can be the
same word.
✎
When you start the notebook from a hard drive protected with
DriveLock, and your power-on password and DriveLock
password are identical, you will be prompted to enter only a
power-on password instead of both a power-on password and
a DriveLock password.
