Acer eLock Management

Acer eLock Management is a security utility that allows you to lock up your removable data, optical and floppy drives to ensure that data can't be stolen while your computer is unattended.

Removable data devices — includes USB disk drives, USB pen drives, USB flash drives, USB MP3 drives, USB memory card readers, IEEE 1394 disk drives and any other removable disk drives that can be mounted as a file system when plugged into the system

Optical drive devices — includes any kind of CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives

Floppy disk drives — 3.5-inch disks only

To activate Acer eLock Management, a password must be set first. Once set, you may apply locks to any of the three kinds of devices. Lock(s) will immediately be set without any reboot necessary, and will remain locked after rebooting, until unlocked.

If you do not set a password, Acer eLock Management will reset back to the initial status with all locks removed.

Note: If you lose your password, there is no method to reset it except by reformatting your computer or taking your PC to an Acer Customer Service Center. Be sure to remember or write down your password.
