Password | Prepare/Security Unit command can unlock the device and all data will be lost. |
The text of the password - all 32 bytes are always significant. | |
Master Password | The Revision Code field is set with Master password. If Identifier is User, the Revision |
Revision Code | Code is not set. The Revision Code field is returned in Identify Device word 92. The valid |
| Revision Codes are 0000h to FFFDh. Default Master Password Revision Code is FFFEh. |

The setting of the Identifier and Security level bits interact as follows.
Identifier=User / Security level = High
The password supplied with the command will be saved as the new user password. The security mode feature (lock function) will be enabled from the next power on. The file may then be unlocked by either the user password or the previously set master password.
Identifier=Master / Security level = High
This combination will set a master password but will NOT enable the security mode feature (lock function).
Identifier=User / Security level = Maximum
The password supplied with the command will be saved as the new user password. The security mode feature (lock function) will be enabled from the next power on. The file may then be unlocked by only the user password. The master password previously set is still stored in the file but may NOT be used to unlock the device.
Identifier=Master / Security level = Maximum
This combination will set a master password but will NOT enable the security mode feature (lock function).
