7.
Enter the password again in the Enter New Password Again field. If you forget this password, the drive
is permanently disabled.
8.
Select File and then select Save Changes and Exit. Press
Enter
to accept the changes. After you press
Enter
, the computer performs a cold start before invoking the DriveLock function.
When the computer starts, you are prompted to enter the DriveLock password for each DriveLock-
capable drive for which you have set a password. You have two attempts to enter the password
correctly. If the password is not entered correctly, the computer attempts to start anyway. However, the
boot process most likely fails because data from a locked drive cannot be accessed.
In a single-drive computer, when DriveLock is enabled, the computer might not be able to boot to the
operating system, and might try to boot from the network or from another storage device (depending
on the boot ordering options). Regardless of the outcome of the start attempts, the locked drive remains
inaccessible without the DriveLock password.
In a two-drive computer that has a boot drive and a data drive, you can apply the DriveLock feature to
the data drive only. In this case, the computer can always start, but the data drive is accessible only
when the DriveLock password is entered.
Cold starts require that you enter DriveLock passwords. However, DriveLock passwords are also required
for warm starts. For example, if you boot to DOS and press
Ctrl+Alt+Del
, you must enter the DriveLock
password before the computer completes the next start cycle. This warm-start behavior is consistent
with the DriveLock feature.
Password security
The power-on password prevents unauthorized access to applications or data when the computer is turned
on or restarted. The setup password specifically prevents unauthorized access to the Computer Setup (F10)
Utility and can also be used as an override to the power-on password. An administrator can enter the setup
password at the prompt for the power-on password and gain access to the computer.
You can establish a network-wide setup password to enable the system administrator to log in to all network
systems to perform maintenance without needing to know the power-on password.
Establishing a setup password using Computer Setup (F10) Utility
Establishing a setup password through the Computer Setup (F10) Utility prevents reconfiguration of the
computer (through the use of Computer Setup (F10) Utility) until the password is entered.
To establish a setup password using the Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu:
1.
Turn on or restart the computer.
2.
As soon as the computer is turned on, repeatedly press the
F10
key until you enter Computer Setup
(F10) Utility.
If you do not press
F10
at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer, and then repeatedly
press
F10
to access the utility.
3.
Select Security and then select Setup Password. Follow the onscreen instructions.
4.
Before exiting, select File and then select Save Changes and Exit.
Establishing a power-on password using computer setup
Establishing a power-on password through Computer Setup (F10) Utility prevents access to the computer
when power is connected, unless you specify the password. When a power-on password is set, Computer
Setup (F10) Utility presents Password Options in the Security menu. The password options include Network
Server Mode and Password Prompt on Warm Boot.
