DriveLock password
DriveLock protection prevents unauthorized access to the contents of an internal hard drive. After
DriveLock protection is applied to a drive, a password must be entered to access the drive.
CAUTION To prevent a DriveLock-protected hard drive from becoming permanently
unusable, record your DriveLock password and store it in a secure place away from the
computer. If you forget a DriveLock password, the hard drive that is protected by your
password is permanently locked and can no longer be used.
NOTE If the computer has a primary and secondary internal hard drive (select models only),
you can set different DriveLock passwords for each hard drive or use your same password for
both drives.
NOTE DriveLock passwords can be used only with hard drives that are inserted into the
computer, not drives that are inserted into an optional expansion product.
Note the following considerations about using DriveLock protection:
●
After a DriveLock password is set, the protected hard drive can be accessed only by entering
your DriveLock password.
●
Your DriveLock password must be entered each time you turn on the computer or restart or
restore from hibernation from the password-protected drive.
NOTE Even when the power-on and DriveLock passwords are identical, you will be
prompted to enter your password at each prompt.
