CAUTION: If you forget your DriveLock user password, the protected
hard drive is permanently unusable.
DriveLock prevents unauthorized access to the contents of the
hard drive. Once DriveLock protection is applied to the drive,
a password must be entered to access the drive.
If you enter a DriveLock password that is the same as the
power-on password, you will not be prompted to enter
the power-on password.
