Change Password

The hard disk password enables you to prevent unauthorized access to your hard disk drives.
Booting the operating system of the hard disk or access to data on the hard disk can only be
carried out by people who know the hard disk password. The password must consist of four
to eight characters. All alphanumerical characters can be used, and the password is not case
sensitive. When entering the password, the password itself is not displayed. The settings become
effective immediately and remain effective regardless of how you end the BIOS Setup later.
The status of the hard disk password is displayed as per the current setting.

Hard Disk Master Password

Access to the hard disk is also granted by entering the master password. This is useful,
for example, if the standard password has been forgotten or is not known. However,
the master password must be kept secret and must be requested from the Fujitsu
Siemens Computers Service. The master password can be deactivated so that access
to the hard disk is only possible using the standard password.
