DriveLock Overview
DriveLock security prevents unauthorized access to hard drive
applications and user data. DriveLock sets a user password and a
master password for hard drives. The correct user password must
be entered when the computer is turned on before a protected hard
drive can be accessed. Protected hard drives remain protected
even if removed and inserted into another computer.
After you enable DriveLock, you must enter the user password
each time you turn on or restart the computer or resume from
Hibernation.
When the DriveLock password prompt displays, enter your user
password.
If you type the user password incorrectly, you are prompted to
reenter it. After two unsuccessful attempts to unlock a protected
hard drive, it will be necessary to restart the computer.
User and Master Passwords Overview
The user password is the password primarily used when turning
on the computer. It prevents unauthorized users from gaining
access to your removable hard drive. The owner of the user
password should be the day-to-day user of the hard drive, not a
system administrator.
NOTE: After you establish the user password, you must enter it
each time you want to access your removable hard drive. This
password will be required even if the hard drive is inserted into
another computer. If the correct password is not entered, the hard
drive will remain locked and inaccessible.
The master password is used instead of the user password to
remove DriveLock protection and to gain access to the hard drive.
The owner of the master password may be the system
administrator.
