|
|
| |
|
| To lock the hard drive | |
|
| The notebook enables you to lock its internal hard drive to help keep your | |
|
| information secure. Hard drive lock does not protect a second hard drive installed in | |
|
| the module bay. | |
|
|
| |
CAUTION | When you enable hard drive lock, the current BIOS user password (or | ||
|
| administrator password if that is the only password set) is encoded on the hard | |
|
| drive. | |
|
| If you move the hard drive to another computer, you can’t access the drive until | |
|
| you set the user (or administrator) password to match the drive password. After | |
|
| you match the drive password, you can change the computer (and drive) | |
|
| password. If you forget the password, you cannot recover your data. | |
|
| 1. | Select Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart. |
