How to remove the hard disk password

Attention: If User only mode is selected and the user hard disk password has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the service technician, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo authorized service technicians provide any services to reset the user hard disk password, or to recover data from the hard disk drive. To put the system back to operational status, the only Lenovo and Lenovo-authorized service solution would be to replace the hard disk drive or solid-state drive with a scheduled fee.

To remove a user hard disk password that has been forgotten, when the supervisor password and the master hard disk password are known, do the following:

1.Turn on the computer.

2.When the ThinkPad logo is displayed, immediately press F1 to enter the ThinkPad Setup program.

3.Select Security.

4.Select Password.

5.Select Hard-diskx password where x is the letter of the hard disk drive. A pop-up window opens.

6.Select Master HDP, where HDP stands for hard disk password.

7.Type the current master hard disk password in the Enter Current Password field. Then, leave the Enter New Password field blank, and press Enter twice.

8.Press F10 to save changes and exit the ThinkPad Setup program. The user hard disk password and the master hard disk password have been removed.

Power management

To reduce power consumption, the computer has three power management modes: screen blank, sleep, and hibernation.

Screen blank mode (for the Windows 7 operating system only)

If the time set on the “Turn off monitor” timer in the operating system expires, the LCD backlight turns off.

To put the computer into screen blank mode, right-click the battery gauge from the Windows notification area and select Power off display.

To end screen blank mode and resume normal operation, press any key.

Sleep mode

When the computer enters sleep mode, the following events occur in addition to what occurs in screen blank mode:

•The LCD is powered off.

•The hard disk drive is powered off.

•The microprocessor stops.

To enter sleep mode, press Fn+F4.
