Compaq ARMADA 3500 3500 User Manual page 115

DriveLock security prevents unauthorized access to hard drive
applications and user data. DriveLock sets a user password and a
master password for hard drives. The correct user password must
be entered when the computer is turned on before a protected hard
drive can be accessed.
Protected hard drives remain protected even if removed and
inserted into another computer. If the hard drive is inserted into
another computer with DriveLock capabilities, you will be
prompted to enter the user password. If the hard drive is inserted
into a computer without DriveLock capabilities, you will receive a
hard drive error.
After you enable DriveLock, you must enter the user password
each time you turn on or restart the computer or resume from
Hibernation.
When the DriveLock password prompt displays, enter your user
password.
If you type the user password incorrectly, you are prompted to
reenter it up to two times. After two unsuccessful attempts to
unlock a protected hard drive, it will be necessary to restart the
computer.
The master password allows a system administrator or other
password "owner" to gain access to the hard drive without
knowing the user password.
The user password is the password primarily used when turning
on the computer. It prevents unauthorized users from gaining
access to your removable hard drive. The owner of the user
password should be the day-to-day user of the hard drive, not a
system administrator.
After you establish the user password, you must enter it each
time you want to access your removable hard drive. This password
will be required even if the hard drive is inserted into another
computer. If the hard drive is inserted into another computer with
DriveLock capabilities, you will be prompted to enter the user
password. If the correct password is not entered, the hard drive
will remain locked and inaccessible. If the hard drive is inserted
into a computer without DriveLock capabilities, you will receive a
hard drive error.
