drive, a password must be entered to access the drive. The drive must be inserted into the computer or an advanced port replicator in order for it to be accessed by the DriveLock passwords.

NOTE: A BIOS Administrator password must be set before you can access the DriveLock features.

To apply DriveLock protection to an internal hard drive, a user password and a master password must be set in Computer Setup. Note the following considerations about using DriveLock protection:

●After DriveLock protection is applied to a hard drive, the hard drive can be accessed only by entering either the user password or 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 either a system administrator or the day-to-day user.

●The user password and the master password can be identical.

●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.
