Hard disk passwords

Two types of hard disk passwords help protect the information stored on the hard disk drive:

•User hard disk password

•Master hard disk password, which requires a user hard disk password

If a user hard disk password has been set, but no master hard disk password has been, the user must enter the user hard disk password in order to gain access to files and applications on the hard disk drive.

The master password can be set and used only by a system administrator. Like a master key, it enables the administrator to get access to any hard disk drive in a system. The administrator sets the master password; no one else knows it. Then the administrator sets a user password for each computer in the network, and tells each user the password for his or her computer. The user can then change the user password as desired, but the administrator still can get access by using the master password.

Note: When a master hard disk password is set, only the administrator can remove the user hard disk password.
