To set a Hard Disk Password:
Note:
The SSD model does not support the hard disk passwords.
Two types of the hard disk passwords help protect the information stored on the hard
disk:
v Hard disk master password
v Hard disk user password, which requires a hard disk master password
You need to set a master password and a user password both as the Hard Disk
Password. Either of the passwords can be used to get access to the Hard disk. Any
change or removal to the master password deletes the user password.
