CAUTION: If you forget the DriveLock user and DriveLock master
passwords, the hard drive is permanently unusable.
DriveLock prevents unauthorized access to the contents of a hard
drive. After DriveLock protection is applied to a drive, a
password must be entered to access the drive. The drive must be
inserted into the tablet PC, not an optional docking device (select
models only) or external MultiBay, in order for it to be accessed
by the DriveLock passwords.
