❖

Setting a hard disk drive user password prevents an 
unauthorized user from accessing your hard disk, even if 
it is removed and installed on another computer. This 
password does not encrypt data on the hard disk.

❖

Setting a hard disk drive master password lets you bypass 
the hard disk drive user password and access your hard 
disk, in case you forget the hard disk drive user password. 
If you choose to set a hard disk drive master password, 
you should set it before you set a hard disk drive user 
password.

HINT: The hard disk drive shipped with your computer may not 
support the master password feature. When you attempt to set 
master password protection, your computer may alert you that 
this feature is not supported by your drive. If this happens and 
you want to establish a master password for your hard disk, 
contact your network administrator for instructions.

If you choose to set a hard disk drive user password, we 
strongly recommend that you set a hard disk drive master 
password as well.

If you set a hard disk drive user password and later forget the 
password, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR 
HARD DISK AGAIN, unless you have set a hard disk drive 
master password.

To register a user only password in System Setup:

Click Start, then click Shutdown, and click OK.

The computer shuts down.
