Removing DriveLock Protection CAUTION: Forgetting or losing both the user and master passwords will render the protected hard drive permanently unusable. Record your master password and keep it in a secure location physically separate from your computer. In the event you lose the user password, the master password can be used to unlock a protected hard drive and reset the user password. Once you create a user password, you can only delete the passwords after the computer has restarted and the protected hard drive has been unlocked.

Click the System Features icon Æ Security Management box Æ DriveLock tab. 4. In the Current Drive section, select the appropriate drive from the list. 5. In the Drive Protection section, click on Remove. 6. Enter the master password. 7. Enter the master password again to verify it. 8. Click OK Æ Save Æ Exit. The changes will take place when Computer Setup has been exited normally.
