Hard Disk Passwords
Two types of the hard disk passwords help protect the information stored on the hard disk:
ƒ Hard disk user password
ƒ Hard disk master password, which requires a hard disk user password
You need to set a master password and a user password both as the Hard Disk
Password. Either of the passwords can be used to get access to the Hard disk. Any
change or removal to the master password deletes the user password.
