If an incorrect password is entered for the selected drive, this disk drive will be locked.

correct one.
WARNING!! Be sure to keep your password (and PSID, if any) in a safe and secure place.
When a device is locked caused by an invalid password, it will remain locked, making
the BIOS Setup utility unavailable for configuration until the correct password is entered!
