Using Hard Disk Drive Password Protection

To facilitate the transfer of one or more HDDs between systems, establish a single
master password (and store the password in a secure place). Forgetting your master
password results in the inability to access the data on your hard drive. Establish
different user passwords to limit access to specific systems.
passwords can never be removed. They can be changed. If the master password is
forgotten and the drive is installed in another system, you cannot access the data on the
hard drive.
If the hard drive is installed in another NEC Versa system with hard disk drive security
enabled, the password must be entered to allow access to the hard drive. If this NEC
Versa system does not support hard disk drive security, you cannot access the
data on the hard drive.
With hard disk drive security enabled on the original NEC Versa system, the system
boots normally.
