Changing the Master Password
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 master password, you can only change the
password after the computer has restarted and the protected hard
drive has been unlocked.
To change your master password, follow these instructions after
you have restarted your computer and entered the current user
password:
1
Turn on or restart the computer and enter your current user
password.
2
Run Computer Setup.
3
Click the System Features icon
Æ
Security Management
box
Æ
DriveLock tab.
4
In the Current Drive section, select either Armada hard drive
bay or Armada MultiBay.
5
In the Master Password section, click on Change.
6
Type the old master password.
7
Enter your new master 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.
9 Click OK.
