Removing DriveLock Protection
CAUTION:
Forgetting or losing both the user and master passwords
will render the protected hard drive permanently unusable. Record
your master password and keep it in a secure location physically
separate from your computer. In the event you lose the user
password, the master password can be used to unlock a protected
hard drive and reset the user password.
Once you create a user password, you can only delete the
passwords after the computer has restarted and the protected hard
drive has been unlocked. Removing DriveLock protection deletes
both the user password and the master password.
