Passwords

As many as three passwords may be needed for any ThinkPad Notebook: the power-on password (POP), the hard-disk password (HDP), and the supervisor password (SVP).

If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it appears on the screen whenever the computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the password is entered.

Exception: If only an SVP is installed, the password prompt does not appear when the operating system is booted.

Power-on password

A power-on password (POP) protects the system from being powered on by an unauthorized person. The password must be entered before an operating system can be booted. For how to remove the POP, see “How to remove the power-on password” on page 58.

Hard-disk password

There are two hard-disk passwords (HDPs):

vUser HDP—for the user

vMaster HDP—for the system administrator, who can use it to get access to the hard disk even if the user has changed the user HDP
