5.4 Hard Disk Drive Password Security Feature
The Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks ready and write access to the hard disk
drive until the correct password is given. Hard disk drive passwords are set in BIOS Setup and are
prompted for BIOS POST. For convenient support for resuming from S3, the system BIOS will
automatically unlock drives on resume from S3. Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9.
Passwords may be up to 32 characters in length.
The User hard disk drive password, when set, will be required on each power cycle until the
Master Key or User hard disk drive password is submitted.
The Master Key hard disk drive password, when set, will not lock the drive. The Master Key hard
disk drive password exists as an unlock override if the User hard disk drive password is forgotten.
Only the User hard disk drive password, when set, will cause a hard disk to be locked on a system
power cycle. Table 23 show the effects of setting the hard disk drive passwords.

During every POST, if a User hard disk drive password is set, POST execution will pause with the
following prompt to force the User to enter the Master Key or the User hard disk drive password:
“Enter Hard Disk Drive Password:”
Upon successful entry of the Master Key or User hard disk drive password, the system will continue
with normal POST.
If the hard disk drive password is not correctly entered, the system will go back to the above
prompt. The User will have three attempts to correctly enter the hard disk drive password. After
the third unsuccessful attempt, the system will halt with the following message:
“Hard Disk Drive Password Entry Error”
A manual power cycle will be required to resume system operation.
NOTE As implemented on the Intel NUC11TN board, the hard disk drive password security
feature is only supported on the SATA Port 0 (M.2) or the SATA port 1 (onboard SATA connector).
