Add A User Password In User Forced Enrollment State; Change The User Password - Lenovo ThinkPad User Manual

Add a user password in user forced enrollment state

The administrator can set up the secure hard drive into user forced enrollment state. In this state, the secure
hard drive is unlocked until you input a user password.
Attention: To ensure your data security, do not store important data on your secure hard drive when it is in
user forced enrollment state.
To set your secure hard drive into user forced enrollment state, do the following:
1. Enter administrator mode. See "Enter administrator mode" on page 7 for more information.
2. Press 0+1 and the indicator blinks in green three times and then is on in blue.
Note: If the indicator is on in red and then turns blue after you press 0+1, it means that the administrator
has set up at lease one user password from administrator mode. Only if the administrator does not add a
user password in the administrator mode, the administrator can set up the secure hard drive into user
forced enrollment state.
3. Press and the secure hard drive is locked. It is in user forced enrollment state in which the first user
can establish the user password.
To add a user password in the user enforced enrollment state, do the following:
1. Press and ensure that the indicator blinks in blue and green alternately. Press
indicator blinks slowly in green. If the indicator does not follow these behaviors, contact your
administrator to reset your secure hard drive into user enforced enrollment state.
2. Input a new user password (a minimum of eight digits and a maximum of 16 digits), and then press
The indicator blinks in green three times and then blinks slowly in green.
Note: If the indicator blinks in red three times, it indicates that the new user password is fewer than
eight digits or more than 16 digits, or it consists of repeating and sequential digits. After the indicator
blinks in blue, input a user password that contains 8 to 16 digits.
3. Within 30 seconds, input the new user password again, and then press . The indicator stays in green
for a few seconds and then is on in red indicating that the user password is successfully added. The
secure hard drive is locked and you can access it with the user password you set up.
Notes:
• If the indicator blinks in red three times and then blinks slowly in green, go back to step 3. This
problem is caused by one of the following reasons:
– You wait longer than 10 seconds before inputting the new user password.
– The new user password is incorrectly input.
• If no activity is detected within 30 seconds in administrator mode, the secure hard drive returns to
standby mode.

1. Enter user mode. See "Enter user mode" on page 8 for more information.
