Password Protection

Since AlienRespawn v2.0 has the ability to reformat your hard drive and can be accessed without entering Windows, the password-protection functionality has been included for your security.

This feature is disabled by default, but can be enabled through the Respawn Settings application, described below.

CAUTION: If you forget your password, you will not be able to access AlienRespawn v2.0, except by booting to the optional AlienRespawn v2.0 disc as described in “To Use the AlienRespawn v2.0 Disc” on page 62. Alienware Technical Support will not be able to recover your password. If you choose to enable password protection, you do so at your own risk.
