Apple Macintosh 6500 - Manual (Page 225)

Using the Tools application
The Tools application is located in the Iomega folder on your hard disk or on
the CD-ROM disc that came with your computer. You can use it to erase Zip
disks, set read/write protection options for Zip disks, and set other options.
The read/write protection features in the Tools application let you do the
following:
m Write-protect a Zip disk to prevent anyone from overwriting critical data.
When a disk is write-protected, no one can save files on the disk.
m Write-protect a Zip disk and assign a password that must be used to
remove the write protection.
m Read-protect a Zip disk so that it cannot be read from or written on,
unless the user enters the password you assign. (Use this option when you
want to protect sensitive information.)
For complete information about the Tools application, refer to the files for
onscreen help and onscreen manuals in the Iomega folder (available on your
computer’s hard disk or on the CD-ROM disc that contains system software).
IMPORTANT Do not forget your password, particularly for a read-protected
disk. If you forget a password for a read-protected disk, the data on the disk
cannot be recovered, even by Apple or Iomega.
