Using a Hard Disk Password
Changing a Hard Disk Password
The procedure to change a hard disk password depends on whether
it is set to the same password as the power-on password.
When the hard disk password is set the same as the power-on
password:
1. Remove the passwords by following the steps in “Removing a
Power-On Password” on page 77.
This operation removes both the hard disk password and the
power-on password.
2. In Easy-Setup, set a new hard disk password.
See the steps on page 79.
3. If you need a power-on password, set it in Easy-Setup.
When the hard disk password and the power-on password are
different, or the power-on password has not been set:
1. Turn off the computer and wait at least 5 seconds; then turn it
on.
2. If you have set a power-on password, type it; then press Enter.
3. When the hard disk password prompt ( ) appears, type your
current hard disk password; then press the Spacebar.
4. Type the new password; then press the Spacebar.
Use no more than 7 characters.
5. Type the new password again to verify it; then press Enter.
Do Not Forget Your Hard Disk Password!
Note the password and keep it in a safe place. If you forget
your hard disk password, there is no way to reset your
password or recover data from the hard disk.
The only solution is for an IBM authorized reseller or IBM
marketing representative to replace the hard disk drive with
a new one, charging an additional fee.
