[Enter] to confirm. (You can type up to eight alphanumeric characters. Symbols and other keys are
ignored.)

User Password [Disabled]
When "Enabled", you will be prompted for a password during bootup or entering BIOS setup. (To enter
BIOS setup, [F2] must be pressed before the system bootup password prompt.) If the "Supervisor
Password" is enabled, entering a "User Password" will only allow you to gain access to enabling or
disabling the User Password, not the BIOS setup.

[Enter] to confirm. (You can type up to eight alphanumeric characters. Symbols and other keys are

will be required first.
HDD Password [Enter]
A HDD (hard disk drive) password places a protection on the hard disk drive so that a password is
necessary in order to access the hard disk drive. When "Enabled", the hard disk drive will be protected
as follows:
• The protected hard disk drive will prompt for a password when accessed on the Notebook PC.
• The protected hard disk drive cannot be used as a master or slave drive on another computer.
• The protected hard disk drive cannot be formatted.
To Enable: Press [Enter], type a password and press [Enter], type the same password again and press
[Enter] to confirm. (You can type up to eight alphanumeric characters. Symbols and other keys are
ignored.)
To Disable: Press [Enter] without entering a password. You will then be asked for the original pass-
word to confirm your identity.
NOTE: If "User Password" and "Hard Disk Password" are both "Enabled", the "Hard Disk Password"
will be required first.
