Selecting manual DriveLock
To manually apply DriveLock protection to an internal hard drive, you must set a master password, and
DriveLock must be enabled in Computer Setup.
IMPORTANT: To prevent a DriveLock-protected hard drive from becoming permanently unusable, record the
DriveLock user password and the DriveLock master password in a safe place away from your computer. If
you forget both DriveLock passwords, the hard drive will be permanently locked and can no longer be used.
Note the following considerations about using DriveLock protection:
●
After DriveLock protection is applied to a hard drive, you can access the hard drive only by entering either
the DriveLock user password or the master password.
● The owner of the DriveLock user password should be the day-to-day user of the protected hard drive. The
owner of the DriveLock master password may be either a system administrator or the day-to-day user.
● The DriveLock user password and the DriveLock master password can be identical.
