Changing the User Password
NOTE:
If you forget your user password, you can access your
removable hard drive with the master password. Make note of the
user password. Record the master password and put it in a safe
place physically separate from the computer.
Once you create a user password, you can only change the
password after the computer has restarted and the protected hard
drive has been unlocked.
To change your password, follow these instructions after you have
restarted your computer and entered the current user password to
unlock the drive:
1
Turn on or restart the computer and enter your current user
password.
2
Run Computer Setup.
3
Click the System Features icon

In the Current Drive section, select either Armada hard drive
bay or Armada MultiBay.
5
In the User Password section, click on Change.
6
Type the old user password.

Enter your new user password. (You may use up to 32
alphanumeric characters, and you may use the same password
you are using for the power-on password.)
NOTE:
Type carefully because the password does not display
as you type it.
8. Enter the password again to verify it.
