BIOS Setup Security (Cont') Hard Disk Security Primary Master HDD User Password A hard disk password places a protection on the hard disk drive so that a password is necessary in order to access the hard disk drive. When "Enabled", the hard disk drive will be protected as follows: • Hard drive password will be required on system bootup. • Hard drive password will be required even to enter BIOS setup. • The protected hard disk drive cannot be used as a master or slave drive on another computer. • The protected hard disk drive cannot be formatted. To Enable: 1. Select the item and press [Enter], type a password and press [Enter] 2. Type the same password again and press [Enter] to confirm. (You can type up to eight alphanumeric characters. Symbols and other keys are ignored.) A message will be shown in BIOS when successful "Password installed." Future system bootup will display: "Hard Drive Locked, enter password:". If you enter the wrong password, you will see "Primary Master Hard Disk Error" "Press F1 to Resume". Pressing F1 will display, "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". Make sure that you use "Save Changes and Exit".
