Changing the User Password

NOTE:

If you forget your user password, you can access your

removable hard drive with the master password. Make note of the

user password. Record the master password and put it in a safe

place physically separate from the computer.

Once you create a user password, you can only change the

password after the computer has restarted and the protected hard

drive has been unlocked.

To change your password:

1. Turn on or restart the computer and enter your current user

password.

2. Run Computer Setup.

3. Click the System Features icon

Security Management box

DriveLock tab.

4. In the Current Drive section, select MultiBay.

5. In the User Password section, click on Change.

6. Type the old user password.

7. Enter your new user password. (You may use up to 32

alphanumeric characters, and you may use the same password

you are using for the power-on password.)

NOTE:

Type carefully because the password does not display as

you type it

8. Enter the password again to verify it.

9. Click OK.
