unauthorized access to your hard disk. Even if the hard disk is
removed from the computer and moved to another computer, it
cannot be accessed without the Primary Hard Disk Password.

Password! If you forget your password, please get in touch with
your dealer or an authorized service center.
You can set, change and delete passwords using the BIOS Utility or the
