Security Understanding DriveLock Ä CAUTION: If you forget both the DriveLock user password and master password, 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 and the drive can be accessed only when it is inserted into the notebook. DriveLock involves a user password and a master password: ■ A hard drive protected by DriveLock can be accessed with either the user or the master password. ■ You can delete a user password or master password only by removing DriveLock protection from the drive. DriveLock protection can be removed from the drive only with the master password. ■ The owner of the user password should be the day-to-day user of the protected hard drive. The owner of the master password may be a system administrator or the day-to-day user. ■ A user password and a master password can be the same word. ✎ When you start the notebook from a hard drive protected with DriveLock, and your power-on and DriveLock passwords are identical, you will be prompted to enter only a power-on password instead of both a power-on and a DriveLock password.
