Hard disk drive passwords
Your computer comes with a System Setup utility that lets 
you set two types of hard disk drive passwords—user and 
master. These passwords protect both your primary and 
optional Slim SelectBay hard drive as follows:
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.
